WIP - Dungeon Maze
You know, I think I get the overall vibe that your players hated mazes. Can't imagine why not. Doesn't everyone like wandering around in a claustrophobic place in which you haven't got a clue where you're going, and most likely you can only see a few feet ahead at a time? I think I'll book my next vacation in a maze. Or is that amazement?

WIP - Dungeon Maze
You are absolutely right. For time sake, I did not design the maze myself. I think the website was called mazegenerator.net or something like that. Your link takes you to the right place. I just pulled the file into CC3+, put it on its own sheet, and used that as a guide for my walls. Using "ortho" to draw the walls over the original maze made it incredibly easy, but I had fun nonetheless. The trees and stuff came from the CSUAC. Nothing original from me and really no artistic talent on my part. It just took a little of my time.
In regards to all the labor needed to move the heavy furniture into place, I think I got a hefty discount from "Dungeon Deliverers."

WIP - Dungeon Maze
I was experimenting with creating a maze for fun. There's no particular use for this map other than learning how to do certain functions. Obviously I haven't finished putting in all the symbols and other fun stuff, but I'd appreciate any feedback you all might have to offer.

How do you make connecting symbols?
@Wyvern I don't know how I could have forced Sue to reveal anything, let alone her mapping secrets. I think she is just a very helpful and caring person by nature, not to mention talented when it comes to her map saavy. I appreciate your help as well. I have had CC3 for years but have only been able to dabble at it for most of that time. Life just always seemed to get in the way when it came to doing things I love to do. It's also worth mentioning, as many others have said before me, that CC3 is notorious for having a bit of a steep learning curve. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, because ProFantasy has engineered a great program. It just takes more than a casual dalliance to get proficient in its use, which until about a year ago, I couldn't dedicate to it as I would have liked. I hurt my back at work, so I've been home and able to devote to other projects, mapping for one, and completing a life-long dream of writing a fantasy novel. I'm also happy to say I used CC3 to make a couple of maps for the book. Now, as I begin work on book two, I have other mapping challenges I'd like to tackle. And thanks to people like you, Loopysue and Ralf at ProFantasy, I am learning how to overcome those obstacles. I'll check out those commands you mentioned to see if I can get the results I want. Once again I say thank you.

Thanks Sue for being so prompt on your replies. You're very kind to help me out. I'll have to fire up CC3+ to check out your hidden templates. How clever. I never would have thought to look under the layers window. As far as the Symbols Along command, I hadn't really given that a thought. I guess I wrongly assumed that it was primarily good for placing trees and houses along a given line, a shady lane filled with cottages or something like that perhaps, which is obviously useful, but I didn't think it would help me make a palisade. I'm sure I never considered the symbols in that command would end up touching each other or become connected by design. I really feel I need to start thinking outside the box. I'll have to try the Symbols Along command to see what I can come up with.
Ralf sent me the pdf guide for CA11. I still don't have that annual, but looking at the guide and listening to what you've been telling me here has been really helpful. Thank you so much.
