How to move terrain editable area/Green Box?

I have been working on a project where our main level is an island, I had problems before with the water block: when I looked beyond (-1024, -1024, 0, 0) the water block would disappear. I solved this by translating all my mission objects (4096 4096 0 0) this means I put all my objects on the terrain kitty-corner from the original one.
I am almost done with the map, but I want to use the terrain editor or texture painter and it would not do anything because the terrain editable area is still where my initial mission was. I only get a blue brush and can't edit the terrain :(
How do I move the Green box to my side of the map?

I'm curious as to this too. My friend ran into to this problem. He couldn't paing outside of the green box. Any info on the greenbox actually is and what it does would be much appreciated.

I could be wrong but I believe it is where the terrain begins to repeat, therefore, there is no reason to paint it because it is already painted.

You can paint over the limit. The brush is shown blue, but you will need to relight to see the changes (most of the time).
If your brush is becoming blue, it is time to move 180 degrees and paint on the opposite side (because terrain is tilling seamlessly).

You can't move the green box, it is the "main" terrain dimension.You can paint over the limit. The brush is shown blue, but you will need to relight to see the changes (most of the time).

I understand this, but the problem is I initially move all the elements of my map to the next quadrant because I was having problems with the water block disappearing in side the green box (or near the coordinates(-1024, -1024, 0, 0)). I have been able to work around it, but would like to know how to do it.Thank you

This one can be moved on purpose and be any size.

Juan, isn't your problem more related with mission area (red area) instead?This one can be moved on purpose and be any size.
