It's an interesting idea, but the reason it's not responding to some of the sheet effects is because you are using symbols instead of polygons.

To best copy the Forest Trail tree shadows, instead of using copies of the trees on the tree shadow sheet, trace the rough outline of each tree with a black polygon on that sheet. Then use the same sheet effects as are used in Forest Trail for the tree shadows. I think that was a blur and a blend mode. Blur to soften the edges, and a Blend Mode set to Multiply, and about 20-30 percent. Adjust to taste.

Both are available. The desert is drawn on both sheets, so you hide one and show the other.

If the well still has the problem in the redownloaded and reinstalled version, please let Support know. I think all it is is a slipped polygon part within the symbol itself, but current installers shouldn't still be having that problem.

It is unlikely the installer has put the files anywhere they shouldn't be, but if they have somehow ended up in the wrong place it is probably easier to try reinstalling that package.

I've never used that particular installer myself so I don't know if there's a repair option if you just run it again on top of itself (so to speak). Worth a try?

If a reinstall doesn't work please contact Tech Support through the form on the Support tab of your registration page (when you log on to your account on the main Profantasy website).

These are some lovely maps, Ricko.

I hope you have a lovely break in Santiago.

LOL! Yes, I used to be much better at drawing dragons...

Many years ago, at art college, I was berated for drawing fantasy creatures by my tutors, so I stopped doing it. And now, 40 years later, I'm not as good at dragons as I could have been if I hadn't listened to them.

Try multipolying the shapes of your design together. That will bring the inlay fill into alignment throughout the pattern and make it look a whole lot less busy.

Thanks :)

Yes, that's a good one. I was just a bit too tired to go looking for it after a day of gradually coming to the conclusion that bitmap symbols weren't going to make the grade.

Thanks :)

I made a small set of different shapes. Being vector symbols it should be easy enough for people to edit them or make their own versions.

You can't change the scale of the forests you've already placed. You will have to delete or undo them.

Check the scale of the single trees you've placed, using the List option in the Info menu.

Then open the Drawing Properties dialog and alter the default symbol scale to match the scale of the single trees, and place your forests again. (This shot shows the default symbol scale for the style I am working on at the moment is 1).

Don't forget to change the default symbol scale back to what it was before you altered it once you have done your forests.
