Hi Everyone! :D

In Ralf's words: We've got a new cool tool in CC3+? Of course I need to take a look, check it out and let you watch in tomorrow's live mapping session.

Or you can view it here if you prefer:

Don't start moving them, just yet, and check you have sheet effects turned on.

They're on the correct layer, though layers don't have anything to do with the way something appears on the map. It's the sheets and their effects that are more important.

When you move something like this it will create it's own new sheet if that named sheet didn't exist in the new map to start with, but it's created without any effects. Or, if the named sheet was already there it will have it's own effects that may not do quite the same thing.

Find out which sheet they are on by using List in the Info menu, then check the effects on that sheet. If there are any there delete them and copy the effects across from your older map using the copy and paste buttons to the right of the effects panel once you have highlighted them all. You will have to have both maps open at the same time to do that, but you can open the older map by double clicking its file icon without causing your new one to close.

EDIT: I notice that you have hidden the SCREEN. That leaves the bright green map border (the one that CC3 uses to define exports) visible around the edge. It might be a good idea to show the SCREEN sheet, but to use change properties on it to turn it solid white if you want there to be a white border around the edge as shown in your picture above. I think I froze the SCREEN layer that its on, so to work with it you will have to unfreeze the layer. Refreeze the SCREEN layer once you are done with it. Doing that will give you the white border without the green line.

Hi Everyone! :D

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be adding shadow and light effects to a dungeon map from the ground up, i.e. on a map that was not set up to do it before.

Or watch it right here on the forum if you prefer.

You've exploded it one time too many, Jim. Each of those lines is shattered into thousands of individual straight lines.

I recommend re-exporting the map and checking if you have multipolies or ordinary polygons before you explode anything. Then only explode the multipolies and only once.

Hi everyone! :D

Ralf is returning to Mirkwood in this week's Live Mapping session to expand the map eastward while experimenting with ways to make those relatively empty areas interesting in Campaign Cartographer 3+.
