Hey there!
Apologies, but assuming I understand correctly, you're interested in learning how to modify the game's pre-existing maps in order to create new ones? While this isn't something that I've personally done, I can assist in giving a quick run down explaining the appropriate steps needed to get started in creating a new map.
To do this, you'll need to go ahead and grab Lucas' P3D Editor 4. It allows you to export the map chunks into a format that Blender supports. To export the models accordingly, right click and choose "Export Pure3D Model":
Once that's done, make sure you have the Blender add-on installed to import the .XML files. That's located here, with a modified version for the latest Blender release available here. To install Blender add-ons, the Blender documentation site gives a quick run-down on what to do.
Weasel's Map Data Editor can then be used to modify the Levels data accordingly, and has a fairly comprehensive Github Wiki page explaining how to use it.
I think once you have everything set up accordingly, muckluck's video can then be used as a nice visual reference explaining what needs to be done to modify the maps accordingly. Hopefully this helps!
