This kind of flaw usually occurs when there are two nodes too close to each other and is more common in these heavily fractalised polygons.

When you say you tried changing the amount of nodes, do you mean you tried SIMPLIFY on the keyboard?

Great work, Mike :)

Though I am surprised about the aiming!

A dusting of snow is a really tricky thing - especially with this kind of map where its more about accuracy and altitude than artistic impression. Do you really need to partially obliterate the important information?

But if it's important maybe find a patchy snow fill and use it on a sheet with quite a strong transparency effect on it? Difficult to know what to suggest.

The default sun position in CC3 is from the north west. That's because most modern atlas maps with hill shading are shaded as if lit from the north west, even though the sun is only ever in that direction for real if you live in the southern hemisphere. The reason for this is that the human brain expects to see things as if shaded from 'above', as if the map is hung like a picture on a wall. It's easier for us to see the shape of those shaded hills.

That's just a lot of possibly quite useless information there, but it is the reason the default sun position is 315 degrees. I tend to leave it there unless there is a reason for changing it - dramatic effect, or some other reason.

But again - as Dalton says it really is a matter of personal preference.

Yes that's right. It may just be a simple case of the TEXT sheet being too high up the list, or hidden.

Have a good sleep :)

My goodness! 2 groups! You really are quite an enthusiast. I hope your players appreciate the care you take with your maps :)
