Yes, the donut explosion does result in one large circle, but if you look closely both the circles are still there. If you do your street work you can then make it back into a donut by recombining it.

But as you have probably already replaced the donuts by now with the circle you can give the one circle the same appearance as the donut by giving the single circle a line width similar to the width of the old donut.

A donut is a multipoly made of 2 circles. It can't be selected as a path, so what you have to do is explode |CC2EXPLODE|the donut to get the two circles from it and draw your streets on those. When you are done drawing the streets you can then re-multipoly |CC2MPOLY2|the circles to form a donut again.

Wherever you get your textures from it is best to put them in a new subfolder of C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Bitmaps\Tiles

I put personal textures that aren't part of my PF installation in a subfolder called User, which allows CC3 to reference the textures in a normal way.

Never put your own textures in existing subfolders or you may end up permanently confusing yourself about which are yours and which are PF ones.

In case you are wondering - I have a whole range of sub-sub-folders within my User folder that further classify the fills into things like City, Overland and Dungeon, which are then further subdivided into things like Grass, Mud, Trees etc.

The finished example map...

Darklands is due to be published as the May issue of the 2021 Cartographer's Annual.

Once a polygon is shaded you can rotate it intact. the shading will stay aligned to that side of the polygon. Try it and see.
