    Praise Many thanks!

    I had given up on FT Pro, but this helps greatly.

    Found it. I forgot to turn on the "Allow Prescale Offset Editing" option in world settings :S

    Post Making a New Projection

    Can anyone help me make a Icosahedral Projection for Fractal Terrains Pro? Lest you think I have any idea what I am doing, I only know "Icosahedral" since its in the export options. However, I would like to save my FT PRO work to CC2, since icosahedral projections work so well with hexes.

    In FT Pro, use File>>Export World>>Cosmographer Template to get a CC2 file with the data in an icosahedral projection and an image to go in the background. There is currently a bug in most recent version of FT that's preventing the automatic linking of the bitmap to the CC2 file so you'll need to do that by hand, unfortunately.

    Maybe it's just me, but as I read through that tutorial, there was a part that called for Tools>>Actions>>Incise Flow. I'm using FT Pro Version 2.2 and I'm not seeing that tool anywhere. Is there a newer version that I don't have?

    I think I've just found that bug -- whenever I try to export, all I get is an odd X-shaped red blotch on my Cosmographer template. Can anyone tell me how to link by hand, as suggested above? I haven't the foggiest.

    thanks,
