FT3 and The 2019 Annual "One Day Worldbuilder" - Issue with Wilbur steps
@CredePendrel - The settings should have been installed by the annual installer. I helped you with this on FB, but for the record here is the solution if the settings files do not appear.
Check if they are listed in this folder first:
@Program Files (x86)\ProFantasy\FT3\Export
If they aren't there, go to this folder and copy them across:
@ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Annual\Issue 155 - The One Day Worldbuilder\FT3 Export Settings
Then if you have FT3 open at present save your work and re-open it. The settings should now appear.
...
I am not sure why they didn't get installed with the annual. It could be any number of things, like forgetting to install as the administrator. That one comes to mind first because the destination folder is a system folder, and requires admin permission before you can save anything in it.

FT3 and The 2019 Annual "One Day Worldbuilder" - Issue with Wilbur steps
It looks like you've got a good result despite early troubles :)
The pasting in CC3 does take time, but that is because you probably have quite close to the maximum number of nodes for a CC3 map just wafting around on your crosshair. The great thing is that CC3 is nowhere near as crashy as some other software I don't care to mention (but which lost me several day's work just recently by both crashing AND corrupting the file for good measure), it just takes rather a long time to refresh.
You can place the map by typing the origin coordinates on your keyboard and hitting enter once it is ready to be pasted - as you probably did, but then it takes a while for the refreshing to finish and the paste to complete. Patience is all that is required, though :)

FT3 and The 2019 Annual "One Day Worldbuilder" - Issue with Wilbur steps
When the land is flat in Wilbur though you know it wasn't when you were looking at it in FT3, the MDR file has quirky data in it called NANs and Outliers. These are data points that are either massively above or below the expected range of altitudes, or data that isn't a number (Not A Number) - an error of some kind. You can't see these points because they are one or two points in tens of thousands of data points, but you can deal with them by carrying out the instructions on pages 10 and 11 of the Supplemental Notes.
