Using Large scale commands

Is there a way to delete specific statics within an area, with the large scale commands?  Like if I wanted to wipe a large area of a specific rock that might be randomly placed throughout the forests? Or if I wanted to wipe all trees from the world, and start over with bare forests.. etc.

Currently all I see is only the 'delete statics' check box, with no filter or any kind, but I overlook things easy too  :P

I think I found the answer to the filtering large scale commands.. I didnt actually click on the checkbox.. doing so brought up the options for filters and that.

Although, I can not seem to figure out the Copy/Move command.  Been trying to move a small island to another location on the map, with no results. Can someone give a quick explanation on how to use that?  Maybe a simple one rectangle area to copy and move. I have tried several different things, and nothing has made any sort of change.

Good that you found it out :)
About the Copy/Move: You specify the source area with the target selection (or by manually entering the coordinates). In the options for the Copy/Move command you can set an offset for X and Y. All tiles matching the area will be copied/moved along these offsets. "Copy" will leave the source intact (as long as they do not overlap), "Move" will keep only the terrain intact. There is also an option to wipe the target area first (i.e. before a block of tiles is inserted, all already existing tiles are removed). I hope that helps.
