Can't find trees from demo maps

llanwyre

Hello! I just bought CC3 and CD3 and was trying to make a city map. Having checked out the demo maps for CD3, I particularly liked the top-down images of the trees that matched the top-down images of the buildings, but when I use my own copy, I can't seem to find those pictures anywhere. I'm sure I'm just missing something, but when I look in the "vegetation" files, all I get is trees seen from the side, appropriate only for overland maps. Where should I look?

Top-down trees in CD3 are actually drawing tools. Hit the "All City Drawing tools" button, and find "City Tree". This tool allows you to make random trees of any size.
There are also a few top-down trees in DD3, in the vegetation catalog (accessible from the skirmish button)

Thank you so much for the quick reply! It would have taken me weeks to figure that out on my own. I just tried it, and it works like a charm!

You're welcome.
Happy mapping. Remember to show us your maps when you are done.
