@Traveller Nothing is set in concrete at this stage. I'm considering some kind of mountain ridge symbol as an addition to the bevel effect, so that people who want a bit more than just a bevel can have it. I'm going with dots and circles for structures, though. Anything more detailed than that would look terrible at this scale. Those kinds of things could be included in the regional version of the style, which I hope to do at some point.

Hi Domenic

It might be that you started the map with a different template than the DD3 one. But all is not lost.

This solution can be found in the FAQ list here:

Thank you :)

I do these threads to get a better sense of direction with a style, but if they also help to sell things that's good too.

30 minutes :)

1. Type SIMPLIFY and hit Return
2. Look at the command line

1. If it's some other figure hit the zero and Return.
2. Hit return if you haven't already

1. And then select the path or straight polygon you want to simplify. The action will be immediate.

Oh look at that! I bet Wyvern has beaten me to it while I was trying to work out how to make the paragraph numbering go right.

Ok. Does anyone else still want the old volcanic texture, and call it "Volcanic 2"?

Ok then. I'll leave it there for you two :)

It probably won't, Ricko, because all my previous overland styles are isometric. This one is going to be seen from above - seen as if you are flying over it like a bird.

That would be a really useful macro if you succeed.

This is only going to work for you if you are only using FT3 to get a decent shape and coastline...

Try visualising the oceans as the land masses.

I have extracted quite a few decent coastline patterns from FT3 by turning the land into the sea, and vice versa. Its not something you can do in the software (I don't think), but once you get your eye in tune with the idea you should find a few more appetizing outlines
