Ricko, these are amazing. Each one that you do gets better and better and I find your maps to be very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

Well then, Yay to Ralf too! ?

I was hoping these would come this month. I NEED them for my Shessaria map. Yay Sue!

Sue, I'm using SS5 for the map. Here's a quickie example of how it looks. The dark shading just doesn't look right with the pale colors of this style. It's okay. Not every symbol set works with every style. I'll just go back to my original plans for this map.

I didn't think that I would have time to work on a map for Lorelei's competition but have managed to get a bit done on it. Here it is so far...

Other than the rivers issue which has already been pointed out, this is a wonderful map! If this what you produce when you are 'new to mapping', I look forward to seeing what you create in the future. I have a feeling I'll be blown away.

@basilgass This is not the thread to debate workflow, however, do your above process on 3 objects. Now imagine if it were 20 objects at which point the bounding box might come into play. The current workflow allows for ease of multiple object manipulation.

1. Choose "edit command"
2. Select item
3. Select item
4. Select item
5. Do it
6. Choose "color command"
7. Do it

With usual system:

I noticed that someone has been trying to access these files. Sorry, I had updated the security on these and didn't realize that it would affect the links. All should be working again. Let me know if you have any other problems with this.

Happy mapping.

Sue, the vertical striping that you see over the rafters is because the wood of the rafters acts like an insulator from interior heat so the snow melts slower there.

I just want to add that I love what you are doing with this. We really needed a winter city set. Happy, happy!

I've never known quite how to use some of the symbols that come with CC like the fruit and haystacks and horses heads. Thanks for enlightening me JimP!

Cool map. Love the clouds!
