I don't think there is a way changing symbol references using macros. But as a workaround, you can just explode the symbols in the drawing. In most cases, this won't make a visual difference, but the symbols are now just a collection of primitive entities which should react nicely to color changing commands. Obviously, they no longer will be regarded as symbols for commands operating on those, but that is usually not that big a problem.

I claim this one

The reason the drawing tools all seem to use the same fill is because they are looking for a fill that does not exist in the current map, so they fall back to the currently selected fill instead. This is an indication that your style isn't set correctly, since each style typically have it's own fills.

To get the tools showing the proper fills (for the style they belong to), you can import the fills into your map using the procedure described here (but I do suspect that isn't really what you need here, you probably wish to use the correct tools, not the correct fills from the wrong tools.):

So, I have spent some more time finishing up my tiny little smithy from the video, so here are the current state of the maps.

So, just wait until Sue hands in her entry, then rotate and scale it down, and presto, instant contest entry...

I think you need to brush up on your conversions. 30 km is about 100,000 feet. Of course, you wrote 30k kilometers, which is 30,000 km or 100 million feet.

Technically, you can just chuck any template into @Templates\Cities\Floorplans to use that style. Note that it does look for certain tools to set the fill/sheet/other properties of the walls/floors it draws as part of the floorplan (The Wall, Default and Floor, Default tools), so if those tools aren't present, they will just use a solid fill instead, but the shape will be drawn, so you can just use change properties

Some compass roses would be nice also on city/street maps, such as Arthenn and the docks. Looking at the bridge and the parent map, it is clear that north is to the right on the docks map, but this can't be seen from the map itself. Preferable, any map that doesn't ashere to the modern convention of north up should have a compass rose to indicate this (Personally, I like to see them on most map anyways).

Wouldn't mind seeing some scale bars as well, makes it easier to use the maps.

Pick the_CC3+ Mike Schley export setting when exporting from CC3+. Or, if you have defined your own export setting, make sure to use the @Templates\CC3+ Mike Schley.FCW template file in the first page of the export settings.
