Oh cool!

So if I do 3 of each you'd all be happy?

@jmabbott Ralf will be doing a live stream based on the isometric version of this style tomorrow if you want to come and join in. I have posted this in your thread for your convenience, since you asked specially, but I will also start a thread for it in the main forum.

Weird, as in not right at all - the resulting symbol doesn't look like anything but a mess.

I think it was a brilliant idea, and I can see how it would halve the time taken to do a Ferraris Style map, maybe even more than that. In fact, if I could only lay my hands on that 25 hour day I had somewhere lying around this place I'd have a go myself :)

I use these two keys a lot:

SHIFT - hold down SHIFT to select more than one by clicking each one in succession while holding the key.

CTRL - same as SHIFT, but it allows you to deselect individual items from the selection.

I worked for BAE Systems once for about 6 weeks as a temp on the reception desk at our local office! LOL!

A far cry from what you get up to though ;)

Thanks for sharing your story :D

5 of each?

I'm going to try and make them open at the top so they will have whatever fill you put them on.

Maybe eventually. I'll have to add that to a wish list for the future, but there's no reason why not :)

Thank you! :)

I really don't think I'm a patch on HW. He hand drew all his symbols, and mine are about 50% modelled in 3D apps like Blender and ngPlant.

I will be moving on to Structures in the next couple of days. Have to keep the pace steady and do what's on the list, or things get unbalanced ;)

Thanks for letting us know, Quenten. I could have done with this about 4 months ago when I was scratching my head over the exact arrangement of houses in the first handful of Spectrum structure symbols. It's not as easy as you think, so I never went to Watabou because of the triangular houses. They would have been no good for what I wanted.

Now, though, this might take days off the workload.

I can download the 3D file and break up the model to rearrange the buildings like setting up for a college still life drawing. You know the sort of thing - 3 hours to draw a carrot, an onion and a chopping board in amazing photographic detail :) (That's what I had to do for my O'level 39 years ago).
