If you can't get rid of the layer is it really worth scrapping everything to start all over again?

Layers aren't anywhere near as important as sheets. Most of the time I completely ignore them.

Hi Everyone! :D

In this week's live mapping session Ralf will be taking a look at an old Annual issue, inspired by the cartography of Erwin Raisz.

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

Should the top end of a carnivorous root be blunt and black in section like a pillar, fade out, or something else?

They only really work at the default scale of 1.

You can use them at other scales, but not as a connecting symbol. To do that you would need to right click on the map while you have the symbol on your crosshair, and set the bottom two checkboxes like this, then paste them individually.

The location of any bitmap file is given in the Fill Style dialog box in the 'file' window.

If you want to add them to another map it's probably easier to use Insert file in the Draw menu, and pick the old map you mentioned but press ESC just before you paste it. Doing it that way will also import the correct scale from that old map.

Do you mean this one?

It's very old now, and the PDF is probably not that easy to follow. It was written in a terrible rush to solve a particular problem someone else was having. However, if this is what you meant it should be possible to translate the use to straight stairs.

I just checked the link in the pdf - still working. I did all of this 5 years ago, so I had to make sure.

There's a very subtle difference. You can see the edge of the water a little more clearly.

How about just a plain old black polygon with one EFI set up like this?

Or even that plus the Glow Blur Radius doubled to 0.5?

Alternatively, how about importing the water texture from another dungeon style?

Sinister Sewers doesn't use the usual wall cutting tools, so I think you would be all right doing that - as long as you realise it would become quite difficult to separate entities by layer. You would have to separate them by sheet instead.

However, to separate the levels you might wish to have separate sets of sheets instead of layers, so you can cast a shadow (for example) on the lower levels from the upper ones. Layers don't give you that power.

It's possible this might be considered in developments in the future if there is more demand for it, but in the meantime you can very easily convert any of the bitmap exports from CC3 to WEBP format in GIMP, which is free software you can get here.

Open the bitmap in GIMP and then go to Export as... in the File menu, and pick your export file type from the dropdown Select File Type, name it, and away you go.

Hi everyone! :D

Ralf has decided that it's time to get out of his comfort zone and create a type of map he rarely does: hex maps. Join us in tomorrow's live mapping session and join in the chat as Ralf explores CC3+'s hex-based functionality.

Alternatively, you can watch it here (below), but there's no live chat on the forum.
