  • 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.

    1. 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.
    2. Click the side of the field you want the fill to be aligned with, and right click when finished.
    3. 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.

  • Folder removal

    I hadn't either, until Perrorist started talking about it. There's a website if you search the term "Fence Software". I don't want to put a link here to it because I don't know how reliable/safe it is. It pays to be cautious with third party software that messes with Windows.

  • Live Mapping: Villages of Schley (revived)

    This week, Ralf has rebooked the session that was cancelled in mid-May, and will be using the Cities of Schley style from Symbol Set 5 to create a detailed village map, showing off the style's options for a rural setting.

    Come join us live for the chat and a chance to ask questions here on the day*

    Or watch it later here on the forum if you prefer.

    *This thread isn't monitored during the live show, but you can add further questions and comments to it if you miss the date.

  • Sea Contour Question

    That is correct, Goblixie - draw the shape as you have indicated in the bottom drawing.
