City streets using Modern Symbol Set

Binky

Most of my campaigns happen in a modern setting- Traveller to be precise.

I'm looking at some of the beautiful examples shown in the Modern Symbol Set section of Profantasy's website, and hoping someone can give me a nudge in the proper direction for creating something close to the street scenes shown there. Am I correct in presuming the streets themselves were cobbled together from various modern floorplan drawing tools and not from some convenient symbol I just haven't found yet? Not necessarily a deal breaker, just want to avoid doing things the hard way if there's an easier method.

Also- would City Designer allow me to construct maps faster?

Thanks in advance!

City designer has the tools to make cities and towns with. CC3 can do that, but it doesn't have the city tools CD3 has. Note that you need CC3 to use City Designer 3. CC3 is more for overland maps.

Yes, the streets are drawn using drawing tools. They give way more flexibility that using fixed symbols.

As for CD3 helping you design maps faster - For city maps yes, but for modern floorplan scale maps like in the examples you are referring to, no, not really.

So if the SS3 examples were made using drawing tools, can I ask what templates were used to create the outdoor scenes that include the buildings and parking lot?

Thanks,

That's an SS3 Floorplan A style map. The cars, heavy machines and furniture is symbols, the rest is drawing tools.
