I am really new to CC3, CD3, and DD3, so I apologize if there is a way of doing what I outline below and I just have not discovered it yet.
I would like to see a symbol set that provides overland symbols from a vertical point of view. I would like to make maps at scales between USGS 7.5' series (1:24,000) and 30' x 60' series (1:100,000)and there is not really a symbol set to support this, especially a way to quickly "sculpt"the landscape with contour lines, land cover, and building footprints. In the past I have run campaigns using actual topographic quads and it has allowed players to strategically interact with the environment and topography in much more detail (i.e. Using a ridge line for cover from 1000 yards and choosing where to set an ambush based on actual topography). I understand the allure of stylized maps for campaigns and enjoy making them, but when it comes to detailed route planning and battlefield strategy I prefer using maps drawn with purely vertical, non-obtuse point of view.
Yes, I will repeat this each year, every year.
All this is already possible in CC3. As long as you don't need to change anything in the original map, just add to it, you can always import the file as an image, and draw on top of it. Use the Draw -> Insert File menu item to accomplish this. Just place the imported image on a sheet at the bottom of the order, and all you draw will turn up on top of it, allowing you to add detail, but obviously not remove or change anything from the imported map. The style is going to get different too, but there is no way to avoid that.
Use Draw- insert file - and scale your image to the preffered size
