If they are on a separate sheet you could hide everything else and then pretend to delete or move them, and select all of them. That will give you a count in the command line.

Hi everyone!

This week Ralf is back to Live Mapping - trying to relieve his German "Fernweh" by drawing a Modern Journeys map, while also showing how to use some trickery with custom symbols.

Come watch it on Youtube here:

Or you can watch it here on the forum:

If you join the Live Chat we will be asking for requests for future live mapping sessions near the end of the stream.

Thanks for taking the time to make a list. I've copied it all into my new suggestions doc.

Thanks.

Ok, this is really quite easy to set up because you've only just started the map and there's nothing else on it but sea, land and this massive lake.

The first thing I did was hide the COASTLINE sheet.

Then I used the change properties tool to move the lake polygon to the LAND sheet, and convert it to a solid fill of the colour 6, which is magenta. I also added a Color Key sheet effect to the LAND sheet, using the same default colour number 6 as the knock out color.

Then I reshowed the COASTLINE sheet and hit apply.

If this is what you want (above), here is the modified FCW.

Unfortunately, no.

Hi everyone! :D

In response to the Live Mapping requests we recieved from our mappers, this week Ralf will be taking a look at using vector data from real-world maps in CC3+.

Come and join in the live chat on Youtube live here:

Or watch it here on the forum, though there is no live chat here.

Hi everyone :D

In Ralf's words: It's been a while since we've done anything science fiction related, so let's take a look at the SciFi Bases style in tomorrow's live mapping session.

Come along and join in the live chat on Youtube here:

We look forward to seeing you there :D

I don't think symbols that have map files to control the roof shading are redrawn. So they are affected by the sheet effects. You can also use Color Key and other sheet effects on them. Color Key can be quite useful to make ruins by cutting holes in the roofs.

If you want to rotate the fill in a filled polygon in the map you can use Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge) from the right click menu of the Polygon tool in the right hand toolbar.

This will also give the polygon a roof pitch, which you can remove using the EDITSHADING command. Check the "Shade Only Copy" box and ok.

While it may be an advantage to rotate the fill this way, the problem with creating these shaded polygons is that they are no longer editable and have to be exploded and recreated every time you want to move a single node - a bit like multipolies.

Since you already own the older versions it might be an idea to contact Profantasy and ask if there is any upgrade price. Since I wasn't around when they were upgraded I don't know if there were or were not.

Try the 'General Manager' on the Contacts page. That's Ralf. He will know if there was any reduced price upgrade and if it still applies.

EDIT: He might be a couple of days getting back to you, though, since he's currently at Gen Con.
