  • Issue with outlines after copy/pasting landmasses into larger map size

    You could go back to the original and use File->Resize Drawing Area to make that one the size you really want it to be.

    Or if you've done too much work in your new map to want to go back to it...

    In the Draw menu there is a Draw Like command. You can use this to pick up the properties of any polygon entity in the drawing and be ready to draw with those properties.

    Alternatively, having picked up the properties from the more desirable landmass you can then use Change Properties to change the properties of the others. The defaults offered to you in the Change Properties dialog will at that point be the ones you need to make them match.

    Be careful, though. Some landmass drawing tools draw polygons on different sheets, like the Mike Schley style for one. In that case you should hide all but the LAND sheet, or all but the COASTLINE sheet, and work on them separately.

  • Photoshop to Fractal Terrain

    Start with a new flat world and import your bitmap as an image overlay. Depending on what the image is like you can then use it to make a selection to raise the land from the sea and sculpt it from there.

  • Interactive flood map

    I found a page that allows you to set the Earth's sea level up or down from the current level. It might be useful for anyone wanting to create post-apocalyptic maps, or even just for new coastline ideas.

    I'm not sure if you only get a limited number of views before you have to start paying, so don't go wasting them away ;)

  • Advice on Drawing Mines

    It looks good to me :)

    You can draw any shape you please, including an arrow, using the primitive tools on the right hand side. Polygon is probably the one you want in this case. Depending on what you want the snap grid would be useful here. And don't forget that you can scale the arrow once you have drawn it.

    I would add a new sheet for your arrow first, so you can control the sheet effects for your arrow without disturbing the rest of it.

    Welcome :D

    I'm Sue Daniel, but I've been known as Loopysue here for nearly 5 years, so I'll just leave mine as it is.
