When saving as an image, FT3 uses your currently selected projection. Just switch the projection to Orthographic first, then use save as to create an image.

Good point @roflo1 . Inserting and then exploding it is perfectly fine. What you don't want is a symbol reference inside a symbol definition, but exploding it takes care of that.

Just to clean up, you can finish up by going into symbol manager (with your symbol editing window open and active) and hit purge to purge the symbol from the definition, since the definition will still remain behind even after exploding

Here's Joachim's tutorial: https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/comment/8891/#Comment_8891

In :CC2PRESETS:, make sure to pick the correct draw tools (These are the names of the folder the tools reside in). Obviously, you should do this in the template to ensure new maps crated from it will work properly

The file Ralf referred to above is still located in the same location for CC3+, just look in the CC3+ data directory and follow the path. This is a Cosmographer supplied filed though, so you need to have Cos3 installed, there isn't one available for "plain" CC3+.

It is a template file, so it won't show in the CC3+ open dialog unless you change the file type filter to show templates instead of maps. You would normally using the new map wizard (choose a pre-defined template) to create a map from it though, not opening it directly

Nice use of the color key effect there. Very elegant solution to the problem.

To have it scale in just a specific direction, put the scale center on the opposite corner/edge. Scaling expands from the scale center, so if it is in the center of the drawing, it will scale equally in all direction, but if the scale center is in the top left corner, it will only expand right & down.

If you scaled up by 1.05 and want it to scale it down again, you simply scale by 1 divided by 1.05 (= 0.95238095238095). Note that you can type that formula directly on the command line, when CC3+ asks for the scale, answering with 1/1.05 is perfectly legal. Note that it may actually be impossible to scale it back with 100% precision. This is due to how computers handle numbers, and if you try doing 1 divided by 1.05 on a calculator, you can see the number have an infinite number of decimals, which basically mean it can't be represented with perfect accuracy in a computer.

To scale something up so that it still ends on the snap grid, you need to calculate based on the original size. For example, to make your shape still fit that 5' grid, the resulting size must obviously be divisible by 5. So if the original is 100', scaling by 1.05 would work (since 100x1.05 is 105, which is divisible by 5), but if it is 80, 1.05 won't work (since 80x1.05 is 84, which is not divisible by 5[, nor by 1.25])

Hmm... You're pretty bad at math..... ;-)

Stunning as usual. What monsters hide in there since an initiative roll was called for? Some dryads wishing to take revenge on whomever stole those canopies?
