I like where you are going with this :)

If you want to get rid of the green glow on the industrial grey move the sheet with the river above it in the list (which will place it, and its sheet effects, below the grey area in the map). You may have to juggle the sheets around a bit, but if you can't get them in the right order for things to show the way you want them to you might have to add a couple of new ones and move things from sheet to sheet to make it so.

Yes.

That's why a lot of people leave the prompt active, so you have the option to defer it a minute or two.

I wouldn't work with it off, though. That way lies tears, despair and much pulling of hair.

Its not so much about house shape, but the sum of all the details together. I've done about 10 more minutes on this map tweaking fills and adding a few dormer windows and extensions. With more time it would be a reasonable village map, though it needs a focal point like a tavern or something. That one building I would take some care with. The rest are just simple houses after all.

Don't forget that you can also make your own house styles to add to the mix, but you will need to do that first using the House settings and saving your own new styles. I have loads of my own.

Thank you :)

LOL! Ok, ok.

So... what shall we call it?

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you, Autumn :)

Andre - Thank you very much! And you may be right about the ash clouds. I will have a think about it when I've done a few more symbols ;)

Hi Everyone! :)

Sorry - I forgot to do this yesterday.

Today, in less than an hour, Ralf will be doing a Live Mapping session showing us all how to do Complex Room Shapes. Please come along if you have time and join in the fun with us.

Sadly, you can't reverse the import directly. When you export a map to CC3 you lose all the 2.5D height information, so the best you can do is use the outline as a pattern overlay to re-sculpt your island a little larger than it was before

Alternatively, you can zoom in to the island and export that alone as a CC3 map. FT3 will export whatever is visible in it's window at the time of export and nothing more. It should give you a much higher resolution CC3 map of the island.

That's good :)

The walls and towers could be done the same way as the roads but you have chosen to go with symbols, which is fine.

Darn. I must have all growed up a bit too much.

I am not sure I fully understand what you mean about changing it all into lines.

If you mean that it turned everything into zero width lines, then using Change Properties to give them back their line width should have worked fine.

Anyway! I'm glad you got it all sorted out :)
