Can one change the prime meridian for a map in FT3?

BlackGesso · June 2018

Hey all. I'm just starting out with Fractal Terrains to create my homebrew campaign world. After flipping though a lot of random seeds, I've found a globe that I like. The one hitch is that the prime meridian cuts through the center of one of the continents. I can fix things up by (carefully) rotating the globe, but things seem to reset every time I change the projection. Is there a way to permanently change where the 0 longitude is?

Map>>World Settings, Secondary page, North Pole Position group. Set Longitude to your desired value and FT will rotate the fractal function 0 longitude point to that angle.

Wow, yeah. That's way simpler than randomly right clicking on the globe until I got something that looked close :)

And you can also right-click on the globe, as you found out. Right-clicking on the globe is harder to manage because you need to keep things perfectly vertical and that's a bit difficult.
