CC3+ Landmass

kewlrane

When I try to create a new map when I try to build a landmass it doesn't work. It will only put the lines I have drawn and never fills the landmass in. Anybody know what's going on? I can also bring my CC3 maps into the program and can add things like mountains to the existings land masses but if I try to create a new landmass it just draws an outline.
Thanks.

I think you've encountered a bug I noticed recently, but hadn't gotten around to reporting, yet. (I don't have the program here at work, so bear with me) Try this: right click on the new landmass button. What style do you see selected at the top? When I do it, I see the Mike Schley style. If I then try a new landmass by right-clicking on the button, selecting the CC3 overland style, and then picking the fill I want, I can draw the landmass and, when I right-click to finish, the right fill appears. If instead I do a new map and simply left-click the new landmass button, I always see the effect you describe: an outline, but the fill for the whole map is the same color as the starting template. Right-clicking on the button then shows the Schley style as selected.

Does this match your experience?

That's not something I can recreate here, but what happens to you kewlrane, if you right-click the Landmass button and choose the default tool from there. Does it show the correct fill in the tool preview?

I've submitted a bug report for this. FWIW, I can recreate this problem in CC3+, but not CC3.
