FT to CC3 - Want to know if I can edit an archive
Mateus090985
Traveler
So guys. As a VERY rare event, I have generated a world in Fractal Terrains that is almost what I needed for one world in my setting. BUT I want to fractalize, resize (etc) some parts and it seens that I cannot do it. I used one of the Contours exports I think and now I cannot do much in CC.... I will put the archive here also to better understandment of what I am talking about.

I suggest you try editing the FT export settings to turn multipolys off and then re-export
the map and see where that gets you
Do note that if you turn off the option to multipoly, you can't make polygons with "holes" in them, so you can't properly represent a lower area completely surrounded by a higher era (lakes are a prime example on this). The poly for the lakes/lower areas will still be there, but they will be hidden by the landmass. However, since multipolies are hard to manipulate, this is the recommended option if you wish to do post-export editing of landmasses.
Open "Save Campaign Cartogropher File" under the File menu and select the export scheme
you want to use from the list, then click the "Edit" button on the right.
Accept the given settings till you get to the "Detail Level" page. There you'll see a checkbox
labelled " Multipoly Each Contour Level", just uncheck it and complete the rest of the dialogue
accepting the defaults.
Hope that helps,
Peter
