Unfortunately the only effect I can get to sort of work is the predefined sepia effect, see below, but as its 'whole drawing' effect it also swamps my map title! I sort of like it as it takes away the darkness of the floor tiles, but would love it more if it didn't impact the text...

The description in "Magician's Nephew" has the floors as being uneven and pieces missing so I've not worried about placing the symbols too perfectly, @Don Anderson Jr. , and the template is essentially an isometric one rather than perspective.

The other day I blithely did a SYMSORT on a particularly uneven patch of tiles and it ended up making it 100% worse so I had to delete nearly a whole afternoon's work as I couldn't undo the command!

I'll be doing a true Perspective map another time - once my brain has recovered from the isometric one.

Thanks @Loopysue - i'll sort things out tomorrow. Good morning/afternoon/evening/night (whichever applies to you!)

I think I’ve solved the problem but am going out in a few minutes.

is this better - personally I'm not that taken with it. Didn't like moving the Drop Shadow in, so fiddled with an Outer Glow. :) Should have left the brighter yellow for the castle names though.

The title says it all! I can only see the route by clicking the entrance line in the .fcw

that won't be a problem if I use the command TED and adjust the font size there.

I've been back and forward with this map but because I've got a very short story in mind, that's what has kept me pushing forward. I think that I've got the symbols more or less visually in proportion despite maybe not actually in true scale!

success!

Thanks both of you - good job I’m infintely more competent than I was this time last year or i’d be plaguing you for more 'how to's!

Hi,

I'd like input regarding the screenshot below. I'm using the Erlan Worlds template, and I've just screenshot the tiny amount I've done and switched off the background so I can focus on the land.

Please could someone tell me how the Color Key works - or at least how to punch a hole through a sheet to reveal the sheet below works? I have achieved it once as a fluke, and being a fluke, I don't know which keys my wayward fingers touched and in what order.
