Creating a dungeon map with Symbol Set 2

I tried to do this and found that the nice bitmap images on the example map for SS2 were not loading. When I went to lay down terrain there were just a bunch of empty fractal shapes. Is their something I am not doing. Do I have to load these bitmaps in a special way. I know I have them on my hard drive.

Just a thought, go to your Fill Styles Properties window and check the Bitmap tab. Look at the directory for the bitmap fill style. For some reason I've had CC3 use the wrong directories in here before.

Yes, red Xs mean the path is wrong. kalnaren's idea will work.

I figured it out. I was choosing the wrong style of map in the beginning. I was trying to create a DD3 style dungeon using the SS2 bitmaps. DD3 dungeons point to DD3 bitmaps while SS2 dungeons point to SS2 bitmaps. Then I was not creating a SS2 map to the suggested dimensions which warped the bitmaps. Once I conformed to the conventions I was able to do a map. It was really all logical, I just got mixed up.
