    I dont understand why when someone says they have a canvas of sandbox all it is all the objects stacked in the crypt. Isn't a canvas meant to be empty.
    I have a sandbox canvas that has NOTHING on it and it works perfectly fine.

    So, please explain to me how a map with everything stacked in one place is a canvas.

    Well its not a perfectly blank canvas. Its an OLN canvas. OLN is object limit number. Because of the way memory works with forge and matchmaking and everything, the objects on the original sandbox have to be coded differently then the items you pull out of the forge menu. So if you delete them, you cant get them back. Essentially, its 300 or so objects that if deleted cant be recreated. Without those objects there, you can only place about 320(approx) items. If you don't delete the original items, you have an extra 300(again approx) to work with. The stacked canvas your speaking of is just someone moved all the original Sandbox items into the crypt and stcked them nicely for you. THere are many OLN threads where you can look for more information. Hope this helped.

    No offense, but use the search feature this site has. This will cut down on the number of pointless threads such as this one. Every map has an OLN Object Limit Number. The default pieces of Sandbox count towards the OLN. So you want to save them and not delete them.
