Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing here, this is a screen shot illustration of the process Ralf described.

Click the new map button...

That brings up this dialog:

Then you select the Cities option and click Next, which brings up this dialog:

If SS6 is installed you should find the highlighted option near the bottom of the list - shown in the above screen shot.

Then you click Next again and go through the process of creating a new map in the SS6 style.

The question then is: which part of this isn't working?

Hi everyone! :D

This week, Ralf will be creating a map with the Baedecker-inspired 1930s Street Maps style from the Cartographer's Annual Vol 5.

If you don't like YouTube you can watch it right here:

The bundle is an encore or repeat of the Maps Bonanza humble bundle from 2021.

After you have filled the basins:

Pick the option to Find Rivers:

That is when you will be given the dialog where you can set up your rivers:

When you click OK in the first box, the second one is where you can set the river length and pick the colour of your rivers:

I don't think you can change the colour once they have been created, but I may be wrong. If I'm right about that it is relatively easy to delete those rivers and repeat the process with a different colour. To delete existing rivers pick Clear River Overlays:

Hi Helen :)

At this stage, where none of us know what extent or position everything should be in the map it might be easier to make a new HW map of the correct extent and then copy the details you want from the old map across to the new empty map. You can position everything as you paste it then. Be careful to only have the things you want to keep still visible as you copy. Hide things like the map border, screen and background before you copy from the old map.
