For abstract symbols like this, there aren't any correct scale to draw them at. So what I usually do is to place another symbol I imagine will be similarly sized down into the map (Such as the explosion symbol from your example above) at scale 1.0, then I use the distance tool to measure the sizes, and then use these measurements as a guide for my new symbol.

Just remember to always work at scale 1.0 when you are creating the symbols. If you place down the guide symbol at scale 0.1 and measures it and creates the new symbol based on that, the new symbol will be 10 times too small.

Unfortunately, that's a limitation of isometric symbols in any style. They can't be rotated (and still make sense). CC3+ is just a 2D-mapper, so to create a 2.5D style like this, symbols have to be drawn in a special way to create the illusion of three dimensionality by building the perspective into symbol image itself, but that also make the symbols only work when they are oriented the way they were originally drawn.

The Floorplan category is mostly for modern florplans. For fantasy, look under dungeons, and for sci-fi, look under Cosmographer.

From SS1-6, only SS3 have anything under florplans.

Thanks.

I am going to wait a bit with this one before I clear it. SS6 is still just in beta/pre-release, so I want to make sure it is 100% compatible with the final version when that is released in case any bugs are found that changes things.

Did everything start working normally after you changed the map type and created a new map? That is, you don't have to do that every time you want to create a new map after the first success, right?

I suspect the information holding your previous map type was somehow corrupted, and the dialog simply showing the top value selected as a default. Clicking back and forth, and then create a new map should probably reset that.

But if it happens on every new map going forward, there may be something weird going on.
