Edge is a power hungry tool that drains a good proportion of RAM, but it does seem to have the best record overall. Apart from it's power-guzzling nature it's not let me down so far.

I think I'm more or less done with this map now.

I'm open to suggestions if you have any :)

@Monsen Should I do anything special to the FCW before I put this on your main thread?

Ok, the trimming down has started, and I'm not even sure that I won't trim it some more. I've used the simple but lovely Ryeland annual issue to do the street itself, which isn't finished yet. I've also got the history to finish. I was going to use SS5, but decided that since I had already used the Ferraris Style parchment it would be nice to use another issue of the same annual - this year's annual. That way, people who want to use it only have to own the 2020 annual.

I've taken the liberty of modifying a couple of the building outlines to make them more interesting. This isn't as outrageous as it may sound. Most map series leave out details that are too small to show at the scale they are drawn, so you wouldn't expect to see garden sheds and porches or bay windows in the parent city map.

The one without the grid.

The tiles on the floor texture work as enough of a grid anyway.

That's a really lovely map, Andre :)

It's a similar idea to the one I had with my own area - to show the street within the area. I think mine will look quite a lot different though. I've decided to use a parchment background for the area and map the houses of my street as detailed House objects using the CD3 roof fills, grass etc - much like you have there with the Schley style.

I think, though, that I will have to revise my rather sketchy idea of what is actually in my street. Your idea is perfect. Maybe I will go for a coven, since I only have 6 houses in an out-of-town place. So where yours looks like a delightful place to visit, nine can be a street to avoid! LOL!
