Everything is Grass
Hi guys,
I have been using CC3 and various features for years and had no trouble. Recently, I turned on the program after a few months of inactivity and found that most of my textures are now the same default grass in various shapes (see attachments). This is true in virtually every style for City Designer 3. I was at such a loss for what to do that I just uninstalled and reinstalled all the programs, but it is still here, and even more assets are grass.
What on Earth can I do about this?
I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

What is happening here is that your current map don't have the fill style definitions included that those tools ask for, so they just shop up with whatever fill you have currently selected instead.
Why the map shows the wrong set of tools is another question, but CC3 saves this information with the map, so if you manually changed them and then hit save, then the map would be saved with the wrong tools selected. The style can also be set from the map load macro, so if you have copied these from another type of map, it could also load the wrong tools.
Also, looking at your toolbar, it doesn't look like you have CD3 installed at all, which would also cause CC3+ to be unable to load the correct toolset for a city map, since it don't exist at all.
The map in your image looks like a CC3 City Basic style map, so it should have the 'CC3 Basic City' set.

I'll try to make a point of posting some of my work on this forum in the future. I'm really impressed with what a lot of you have made, and hope I can get a lot better myself.
Culverin - no worries. I'm looking forward to seeing your work. (and in case you're wondering my avatar name on another mapping forum is 'Mouse')
