To me, FT3 is a way to find and/or sculpt new worlds, rather than detail existing ones. It's quite a lot harder to use if you already have lots of ideas already set in concrete.

It might be easier to start this in Campaign Cartographer by creating a world sized map (each map unit is either a mile or a km), and drawing the predefined parts of the world as simple land shapes using the native land drawing tool. That way you can try out land shapes for the rest of your world relatively quickly, rather than sculpting and resculpting in FT3 several times over, which takes much longer.

If you want to add number labels the easiest way is to add text labels using this button: |CC2TEXT|

A dialog will appear, into which you type your number and hit enter. Then the number should appear on your crosshairs to position wherever you want.

While the number is still on your crosshairs you can alter the alignment by hitting keyboard keys as follows:

Horizontal alignment:

• C = centre
• L = left
• R = right

Vertical alignment:

• M = middle
• T = top
• B = bottom

If the number is too large or small, before you place it hold down the CTRL key and move the mouse until it is the right size. Set your size with the first number and stick with that size.

EDIT: Also do as Steven suggests and check that your TEXT sheet is near the bottom of the list of Sheets and Effects.

This week, Ralf will be showing us the latest free symbols for his beautiful Handdrawn Fantasy style, and discussing the use of Bitmap fills versus Symbol Fills for larger terrain features.

Or watch it later here on the forum if you miss the show.

This thread will not be monitored during the session, but is a place where you can discuss it or ask questions before or after the session.

That would be this one?
