This map will be a mix of symbol styles and textures on top of the watercolour background. Ideally I'd like to somehow overlap the set of overland maps but I'll see what happens, but that's why I am using the watercolour land background. I like it - which helps!

you are right,in saying that most of my current maps are overland ones.@Loopysue I have done other ones in the past but i've lost the .fcw files with constant changes of computers 😯. I have a few .pngs of another project - a house of three floors. I cheated and used the outer shape for the first floor and attic as a template fo before I started to put the walls and furniture in the ground floor. I just could not grips with how to do it within the CC3+ setup. As for spaceships -- the less said the better!

This is the first perspective/isometric map that I have completed, @Royal Scribe , though I had to squint at to get the right orientation of the symbols like the banner/flag thingys in the lower left room! I was going for the flags in old churches like the chapel in the Tower of London.

Now bevels on the other hand ......

a quick trawl of the 'net gave me two images of doll houses (which was the purpose of me trying to get to grips with multi level drawings): one of a Barbi house which clearly shows no windows or doors and one showing the front of a dolls house. I had already realised that having a roof on a drawing meant that I couldn't place furniture *in* a room while just having a square - well, what is the challenge in that?

yes, Sue, I did, and it didn't work 😥. I'm thinking of putting something like a dot hidden under the map border on an otherwise empty sheet and doing a gigantic blur below the text sheet! might work, might not.........!

EDIT: I had to step back a saved map because none of the sheets had the RGB Matrix settings. Thankfully I tried the RGB first thing so I  only had to re-place 3 symbols after stepping back.

thanks Sue. Moving the sheets revealed the one that the fill was sitting on!

I've been working on a modern floorplan and, from a British standpoint, there are a couple of symbols that I'd LOVE to see added. They are

Wardrobe
Dressing table
and just as a maybe, Kitchen table and chairs

Pretty Please?

We don't have walking wardrobes aka closets in the UK, and I find myself improvising with the kitchen/office symbols when I need them.

true, but this is a fantasy setup inside a massive castle so I'm imagining perfectly level ground. I'm making reasonable progress on it today, so might have something to post here later or tomorrow.

I’ve been playing with the blueprints part of SS3 and have come across an odd anomaly, or odd to my mind at least. From the screenshot below you can see that the vector symbols for the majority of the bedroom furniture are absolutely mammoth. The same applies to the kitchen cookers, baths - those are the ones I’ve come across in the .fsc files. Why are they that big? I have had to size down to 0.0004 to have a hope of them fitting into my floorplan.

Another quick query - why aren’t there any classic/old fashioned architectural symbols like the one I found showing the maximum space needed for a door including its span as it opens? I took this from a Google search by the way.

Thanks both @JimP and @Ralf , I'll look at the maps later. I've only just got up - very late!
