Torches not working
I have previously made dungeons using DD3 in which I have used glow effects successfully with torch symbols. But this time I seem to have a problem.
Having already placed other wall features, I have attempted repeatedly to place my torches on a sheet called (appropriately enough) TORCHES. But the torches I place keep ending up on the WALL FEATURES sheet (I know this because when I hide that sheet the torches disappear) even though I make TORCHES my selected sheet after choosing the torch icon, prior to placement.
I can't figure out why I can't get those torches to glow, without also making my other wall features glow. It worked before!

There are three ways to handle this
- Create a sheet called WALL FEATURES TORCHES for your torches. The torches will happily let themselves be placed on any sheet that starts with the words WALL FEATURES
- Temporarily turn off the "Symbols Choose their own Sheet" option from the symbol options (Button right above the symbol catalog.
- Just move the torches to the correct sheet after placing them.
How can I move symbols to a new sheet after placing them?
In the dialog that pops up, you can change the sheet for the entities.
