It's probably more to do with the size of the glow than the width of the line.

If they look ok when you export the map you don't need to worry about them anyway ;)

Oh yes!

[face-palm moment]

There are times when I have to shake my head at myself for not thinking of the most obvious things!

This is part of a Live Mapping session demonstrating the Ryecroft Town annual issue, but the Street tool works the same in any style.

Drawing tools are part of the style template, so saving a modified tool will cause that tool to stay saved that way. It is better to pick the tool you want to change and then press the New button. A new tool with the same qualities as the one you wanted to modify will be created, and you can name it as you see fit. When you modify this new tool and save it, the tool will be saved alongside the other tools in that style, but it won't alter any of the tools that came with the style.

Similarly, if you get into modifying the textures and symbols of a style it is better to copy them and rename them as your own variations before you work on them.

Edit: Ninjad by a much better answer from Remy :)

Hi Everyone :)

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be revisiting the Modern Cities Annual style from 2007 - the first Cartographer's Annual to ever be published.

Come along and join in - learn how to get the most from these styles. All are welcome :)

I think there may have been a Discord at some point. It may even still exist. I don't know. I really hate Discord. You spend half an hour explaining something to someone and it's vanished a day later when someone else asks the very same question.

Help?

I hope you will be surprised in the end. Darkness is all the more frightening if it masquerades as light. But of course there will be varicolour ;)

This looks like an issue with the Maximum Pixels Per Pass.

If the image resolution is quite large the rendering engine makes more than one pass to render the whole image. There is a percentage overlap but this may not always be enough to capture the source of a light that lies just outside the edge of the current pass. That means the pass may be calculated much darker than it should be.

Type EXPORTSETMPPP and hit the Enter key. In the command line you will probably see the number 4 million. Type 40 million (without any commas) and hit Enter again. Then try to export your map again.

Looking like a really attractive land shape there, Calibre :)

The interesting thing about the idea of centreing or not centreing the shot. Painters are taught never to plonk things centrally without thought for the overall composition with emphasis on thirds, fifths and sometimes sevenths - diagonals and golden rectangles... all kinds of stuff I learned and subsequently forgot over the years, while photographer's are taught exactly the opposite. Place the subject central to the shot.

I hope you find a way to introduce some kind of acceptable support service that will balance with the care you provide yourself, or caring for a person single handed like that can really drain a person. I did it for several years when I was raising a disabled stepson, so I do know exactly what it's like.

I had that feeling when I came back to CC3 a couple of years ago, but you would be surprised just how quickly it comes back. I only had to find out how to do a thing and it was back in my memory again just as firmly as it always was before.
