Generally, for a whole-world map, Equirectangular works fine. But it distorts shape and area as you get closer to the poles, so it isn't as good a projection for areas far to the north or south. Here something more true to shape may be desired, like the Equal earth projection. For the polar regions themselves, something like the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area may be a good idea.

Basically, each projection in FT3+ comes with a descriptive text, I advice you to read it.

One or many from FT3+ depends on how much you care about map projections. FT3+ operates on spherical planets, so to get it into CC3+, a projection needs to be used. No matter which projection, the exported landmass will be distorted.

So, if you want the detail maps in CC3+ to match the world map in CC3+ as much as possible, start by exporting a single world map to CC3+, and then extract continent maps from that.

On the other hand, if you want your continent maps to actually have the true shape, then they should come from the FT3+ map, possibly with another projection, instead.....

If entities are on the same sheet, use :CC2BACK:, :CC2FRONT: and friends to arrange things.

If entities are on different sheets, either re-order the sheets in the :CC2SHEETS: dialog, or move the entities to a different sheet, depending on what's appropriate.

No worries. I love seeing new things for the atlas. I feel a bit bad for not being able to get to things quickly enough, but work has been eating both weekdays and weekends lately, and when it isn't work, it is family. This weekend will be mostly eaten up by the baptism of my sister's youngest offspring, so while it is a joyous occasion, it still saps time and energy.

Thanks. I'll get to process these in due time. I am lagging quite a bit behind (Just ask Quenten, he's been waiting patiently for me to process his submission for a while now) due to work and other things stealing both my evenings and weekends.
