CC3+ export from FT3 is wrong

jbclaypool

I've repeatedly tried exporting a section of a map to CC3+ from FT3, but the CC3+ export never has the changes made in FT3. I've filled in sections and cut out sections related to the outlets of rivers in FT3, yet those do not show up in CC3+ when exported.

Here is an example area in FT3

Here is the area in CC3+ after export. I apologize for the lower resolution--couldn't get a good picture.

Essentially no edits to the FT3 file since after the original one day worldbuilding erosion carry over into exports to CC3+, despite repeated saves, closing the programs, reopening, etc.

FT exports maps to CC at different levels of detail, though this may not be obvious unless you edit the Export Settings you pick. The third dialog in that process presents the controls.

The higher the level of detail, the more accurate the result. The lower the level of detail, the more likely you are to get these anomalies that don't accurately reflect what you can see in the FT window. Even then, there will always be far more detail visible in FT than can be exported to CC, where the total number of nodes in the exported polygon is limited by what CC can handle. In most cases this is more than sufficient.

If the Export Settings are already on Fine level of detail, I recommend zooming into the area that lacks details to create smaller regional maps. The closer you get to a detail, the more accrately it will be exported.

I hope that helps.
