I have created a sheet for each countour line. But the layer is the same of the landmass as the template that I used (CA 28 Fantasy Worlds) does not have a land layer and put it on the RELIEF/CONTOURS Layer. I am trying to do it using the Fractal Poly tool but I cant change the colour (I want a different color for each contour sheet). Any help? A better sugestion in how I can do it?

EDIT: Ok. now I can change the colour and know how to dont make then hollow (it was just dismark que outline box). Now I am fighting to find a good effect for my altitude contours...

Check my template at: color chart You will need the bitmap fills on that page as well. link updated on Nov 7, 2016.

If you have solid color for your contours, an Inner Edge Fade may be a good choice for a sheet effects, or a small blur. If you want to a "scientific" look, don't do any effects at all.

I am toying with Edge Fade Inner and some combinations of colorus. I use Texturize so Blur is not an option as it destroys de texture right?

Yeah, that's right. You'd not normally not use a Blur with a texture.

If you are interessed, I am posting my tests with height lines here: http://forum.profantasy.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2754&page=1#Item_33
