Newb Question about creating a Lake in CC3
Hi everyone,
Just purchases CC3 - used CC2 a LOONG time ago and I am just getting back into D&D. Kinda rusty with the program so please bare with me.
I have created a land contour layer for my mountains with the effects I am looking for and they look great. However when I try and create either a contour (sea) object for my lake or use the default sea tool, once the map is redrawn the lake vanishes. I am putting the lake area over my existing land mass that I drew originally as my continent. I have tried putting it onto separate layers, creating a new "Lake" layer and sheet to no avail. I have also tried moving the different layers in different orders. Right now my Lake sheet that I created is 3rd on the list above my land sheet. The only way my Lake shows if I select the box that says add to current sheet on the contour tool. Then it has the same effects as the mountains I created which I really do not want. I have tried changing the active sheet and selecting that option but it defaults back to the land contour layer.
Pretty sure I am doing something wrong as when I go to erase the area I am adding my lake too, the ones I have created come back and I can see them once more, of course until it is redrawn
Any help is greatly appreciated and welcome!!

ocean sheet
land sheet
lake sheet
Have them in that order in your Drawing sheets and effects requestor, and they will show up correctly in your map after redraw.
