Need some advanced mod cleaning advice

Hello, all!

It's been a long time coming, but Rathunas just finally went out of beta last week. I have found a minor issue that I want to clean up, though, just to be a good citizen with respect to exterior cells.

I have a few cells where I edited in my own area, but either just barely touched the terrain in an adjacent cell, or modified the pathgrid in *my* cell but thereby affected a link to the adjacent cell's otherwise-unmodified pathgrid.

What I'd like to do is to back off the edits within my own cell so they are a ways back from the boundary, then use TES4Edit to zap all edits of pathgrid and landscape in the adjacent cell, thereby making it untouched by my mod.

If I use TES4Edit to zap the adjacent cell edits first, then this leaves a tear in the landscape (as one would expect). The problem is that I don't have a way to match my cell's edge up to the other cell's edge, because in doing so I would once again touch the other cell just slightly and thereby contaminate it.

For pathgrid, I can zap the pathgrid record in the other cell using TES4Edit, but that leaves orphan node links in the pathgrid record for my own cell, and my initial testing (with a copy, not my original ESP) suggests that this leads to a lot of CTDs.

I've got to believe someone else has solved this. Any ideas? Is there a tool out there to selectively remove modifications by area? I can deal with a tear *within* my cell, because then I could just smooth it out in the CSE.

Ideas, anyone? Thanks!
