@Wyvern - I forgot how many points a snowflake had ;)

This particular symbol is a complete ridge, starting with a mountain and extended into a ridge from one of it's 3 buttresses. I think 3 seems to be the magic number of butresses (or maybe in tight folds only 2 buttresses). All the Himalayan watershed lines join at 3-way nodes. 4 would be rare, I guess. Even Mt Everest only seems to have 3 main butresses. There's probably a really simple geomorphological reason for this, but I can't think why it might be.

Incidentally, I rather like the Nepalese(?) name for Everest - Arkhale. I wonder how it's pronounced.

@Royal Scribe - Thank you :)

Work continues. I'm still trying to work out whether to make complete ridge segments, or bits of ridges. The bitmap is incomplete, but with my circle map testing I've accidentally worked out how to make a vast crater.

Rivers aside, I've been doing some work on the appearance of these mountain lego bits.

The shape leaves a lot to be desired at the moment, but I think I've got a workable style.

This is a ring of the same test symbol - testing the map file shades correctly.

It's great to see work being done to expand on Jim's gifts to us.

You didn't hijack it at all, Don. The reason we do live sessions is for people to ask questions.
