Live Mapping: Villages of Schley (revived)
One of our viewers asked if it was possible to align the field fills with the fields. Yes it is. Some styles have field drawing tools that do this automatically - styles like the Ferraris Style and Darklands City.
- If you have a polygon of field you want to align, right click the Polygon tool and pick "Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge)" from the menu.
- Click the side of the field you want the fill to be aligned with, and right click when finished.
- Type EDITSHADING and hit ENTER, then check the box called "Shade Only Copy". That will remove the roof shading applied in the moment you used Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge).
The three stages look like this, where field number 2 shows the roof shading automatically applied by Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge).
If you want to edit your field use Explode just once to return it to it's former state.

Clicking to open the "Image Overlays" window causes map to be obscured
You seem to be using FT3, while I am using FT3.5, so the appearance of the toolbars may be different.
At the moment your map is showing the Gaia view like this. You should find that is the option checked in the Map menu.
Pick the Show Altitude option instead to return to the altitude view.
The map views are persistent between sessions, so restarting is no good.
