Exporting FT3 to CC3 - land disappearing

WesleyVos · February 2015

I'm attempting to export an FT3 map to CC3. On the FT3 map, I have a number of lower-elevation lands, near the water level. However, when I export to CC3, those land show up as water, and it's giving me fits trying to fix it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Check sheet order under the sheet dialog.

Sea
Land

Should be the correct order. Top sheet is drawn first, then next sheet, on down the list. The bottom sheet in the list is drawn last.

I checked that - it's not the problem. Current sheet order is Background >> Contours (Sea) >> Grid Low >> Sea Features >> Land.

Any other ideas.

I think we need the map in question to help with this.

CC3 version of the map is attached. It won't let me upload the FT3 version.

Try to zip the FT3 file, that should allow you to upload it.

The problem is that you lowered the water level on the world by 1000ft. The CC3 export normally takes the 0ft height contour as the water level. There are two ways to change this.

1.
- first raise your water level by 1000ft again, putting it back at the 0ft contour
- Then do Tools > Global Raise > Ladd Offset > 1000ft

Basically you've now raised the whole world by 1000ft, instead of lower the water level by 1000ft.

2. Edit the CC3 export setting
- On the third tab "Detail Level" you'll find the option "Altitude relative to water level" . Check this, then redo the export

Either way, a CC3 export should now show the coastline and low elevation areas correctly.

That worked! Thanks!
