Cannot find CC3?

crazyivan777

So, I've just downloaded and installed CC3+, and city designer 3. I've been trying to run the install for Symbol Set 3 v3 - Modern, and when I get the install wizard up and running, it says I don't have CC3 installed / it can't find CC3. I did it all to default locations, so... How do I get the symbol set working?

Be sure you downloaded the one that says it is the version for CC3+.

Symbol set 3 hasn't been released for CC3+ yet. To use it, you must install CC3.

Ah, thank you very much. As a follow-up question: I got these things in order to try to make maps of a modern city. Skyscrapers and the like. Is that possible? I'm not seeing those particular pieces anywhere.

CD3 doesn't have raster artwork for skyscrapers, but it does have vector symbols (second to last button on the CD3 symbol toolbar, it toggles various catalogs, so you may need to click it more than once)

SS3 is more focused on floorplan/street level stuff, as well as overland maps, so you won't find skyscraper symbols there.

Most modern city maps don't use building symbols at all though, check out these annuals for examples of nice ways to map modern cities

My apologies, I had it had been upgraded for CC3+.
