  • CC3+ Drawing a cave system gives artifacts

    It may be that you have too much fractalisation going on, since those kinds of artefacts tend to happen when there are nodes too close together.

    If you have thousands of nodes when you use Info List on the entity (just to make sure I'm right about that), try using the keyboard command SIMPLIFY to reduce that node count. Even if you use quite a small factor the command will at least remove the nodes that are causing the artefacts.

    If SIMPLIFY is the answer, delete the wall or the floor that you didn't simplify, and use change like drawing tool to replace the missing part identical to the simplified shape.

  • Blending

    That's not possible because those symbols are bitmap images created by the artist and the linework is an integral part of them. I recommend either making the rivers and roads thinner, or the mountains larger.

    Looking good, Hans :)

    I very much hope you are well onto the road of recovery right now, though!

  • Wet medley and a city!

    Sounds like a really interesting idea. I'm looking forward to seeing it :)

  • Live Mapping: Book of Maps style (Annual 2022)

    Hi Everyone! :D

    In this week's Live Mapping Session Ralf will be presenting the February issue of the Cartographer's Annual 2022, with Pär Lindström's beautiful new "Book of Maps" style.

    Come along and join in the discussion, or watch later :)

  • Blending

    Type DELAYDRAWSYM and hit enter.

    It should be set to 1 by default.

    Type 0 (zero) and hit enter.

    Then redraw.

  • Merging 2 overlapping landmasses

    That was 8 years ago, now. Today we have a lot more commands for things like this.

    The shortest way is just to add the missing bit if there is a gap, hide all other sheets but the LAND sheet, pick the properties of the land, and then use the keyboard command TRACED to select them all and join them all into one by automatically tracing all the way around the whole lot. Delete the separate bits of land and you will be left with just the one part.

  • Is there a way to make something like a fill style with a group of tileable textures?

    It's nearly there roflo. If you erase around the edge of each of the cloud symbols in an uneven way (in GIMP/PS or similar app) so that there are no more sharp edges, and it should work a bit like a PS brush, but in CC3.

  • What should Spectrum Scrub Terrain settings be?

    Solid 10 is a semi-transparent bitmap fill, which should already exist in the style template (if it doesn't, just shout and I will explain how to get it there). It's intended as a shadow.

    That's interesting about the typo. Thanks for letting us now. I will notify Tech Support so that it can be put right for future users.
