I finally figured out how to create a port (where there was none). duh :P However, I CAN'T PLACE THE STEPS I NEED TO GET ON THE DOCK!! I've already opened my cheat console up, already typed in the move objects.
I already typed the "testingcheatsenabled", already typed the "moveobjects" ... I STILL CANNOT PLACE THE STUPID STEPS!!!!!

I have built several ports and attached houseboats in Create a World EIG. The steps are very tricky. In the Edit Town tutorial step 15 is very unclear. In the CAW tutorial step 21 is very thorough. The trick is the ground has to be level or fairly level where the steps are being placed. I use level terrain for three squares back of the dock and a couple squares either side of the stairs (in other words a step which is two wide would have a level area 4 wide by 3 deep). then place the steps using the alt key (very important). I have sometimes resorted to a 1 square wide step to help find a level spot and then widened that spot and install a 2 or 3 square wide step.
After the steps are placed, you can then smooth the terrain to make the area by the steps look nicer.
Hope this helps.
