  • Any way to restore Symbol Catalog Settings without reinstalling CC3+?

    That should work fine. Make sure that you include the System subdirectory of the CC3+ data directory, as this is where all the settings for the symbol catalog settings, master filters and drawing tools are stored.

    Note that symbol catalog settings can also usually be fixed manually quite quickly unless you have a lot of them with problems. The most common issue is the file name of the actual catalog being removed from the setting, but the name of the setting itself should be enough to identify which catalog it needs, so you can browse to it and then save the catalog.

  • Memory setting

    The software is 32-bit, so it can't address more than 4GB of memory, which it should do by default.

    That said, the rendering is CPU-bound, so unless you are manually forcing it to always use very high quality textures in the display speed dialog (a rather bad idea btw, since it won't affect visual quality, CC3+ automatically uses the right textures based on the current zoom level, manually overriding it just eats performance with no benefit) so the rendering speed is mainly limited by CPU-speed (Actual clock speed is the most important here, not the number of cores) .

    Note that since CC3+ is a vector-based program, it will need to re-render your display every time you change view, it is not a finished bitmap just laying ready in memory as with regular image editors. The amount of work needed here depends a lot on your display size, for example a 4K display is 4 times as many pixels as as 1080p one, so it will also be 4 times as slow in that case.

  • Terrain and sheets

    May it be that you are just confused by the Edit Properties box? The properties shown there ARE NOT the current properties of the entity selected, but rather the currently set properties on the status bar. It can be a bit confusing at first that it behaves that way, but it is much more friendly when you start working with multiple entities at once, and you are also much more likely to need to change properties to the current status bar settings rather than inspect existing settings.

    To see what sheet an entity is actually on, use the Info -> List command on it.

  • Cosmographer and Moon Orbits

    No. While Cosmographer allows you do draw star systems, it is a manual process. It has no concept of things like orbits and calculating positions or the effect of bodies on each other.

  • Ss6 not working

    Hi,

    What do you mean when you say it won't load up? Doesn't CC3+ start with SS6 installed? Or don't you have the SS6 Templates in the City category in the new map wizard? Or are the symbol catalogs missing? I need some more information to try to figure out what the problem could be.
