FT3 to CC3+ help

I've been playing around with FT3 and CC3+ for several months now, and love it. Recently I've been trying to modify a FT3 world on CC3+, and have been having an issue. I can easily load the FT3 world on CC3+, but when I try to use the Mike Schley land fills (farmland, grassland, forest background, etc) they show up either blank or a solid color. The rest of the MS symbols show up fine, just the fills have issues.

So with that, I am wondering if there is a way to make them show up. I've tried loading them manually under the custom tool properties and loading from the "use fill style" option, but only the CC3 bitmaps show up. Secondly, if there is no way for me to load MS bitmaps on an imported FT3 map, is there any way I can make a map on CC3+ the size of a map on FT3? I love the MS bitmap style and would like to use it on a world map. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Tools require the various fill styles to be defined in the map to work properly.

    If you wish to use any style on an FT3 export, I generally recommend simply creating a new map in the desired style, the use clipboard copy to copy the landmasses over from the FT3 export to your new map. Then use change like draw tool on the copied landmass to change the style to match your new map.
