  • How to draw an arrow???

    Hi davehetfield :)

    If you right click the Line tool on the left toolbar you will get a menu that offers "Line with Arrow".

    However, there can be limitations with the automatic arrowheads if you want to have a thick arrow, so what I quite often do is draw one myself using ordinary lines and the snap grid, and then copy/clone it to other places on the map where I need them.

    Hi Daperdepa :)

    If you put a length in the square brackets that is a tiny bit shorter than the symbol actually is on the map, those gaps should disappear.

    I'm not clear what the other problem you are describing really is.

    I was once told that it was good to have a decent area to fight in. I don't know how true that was, but the gamer who wanted more space to play around in was very satisfied with my modifications, which meant I had one reasonably large room.

    What is the scale here? Some indication would be good. Either a grid or a little white square to show 5 or 10 ft square.

    Looking good :)

    Do you know that you can align the floorboard fills in those rooms that aren't perfectly aligned with the usual compass directions using Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge) from the right click menu on the Polygon drawing tool on the right? (providing that floor isn't all one polygon). You get the tool and click the long side of the floor with it and the fill is instantly aligned to that edge.

    The tool was originally intended as a roof shading tool, so each one of the floors now has a pitch like a roof. That is why they will have gone darker or lighter than they should be. Then when they are all aligned you type EDITSHADING, and pick them one by one and check the little box where it says "Shade only copy" and they will lie flat again.
