CC3 Feature Suggestions

[Valarian]

I'd like to see the symbols that make up the drawing tools for forests in the CC3 overland grouped so that I could select the entire forest as a single entity. It'd be good to speed up the refresh on these as well. It seems that a few overland forests really slows the refresh rate down.

Grouping forest is not something we'd want to add by default, if only because it would make such forests different to ones created with symbols. However, if you want grouped forests you can edit the forest drawing tools.

1. Click the CC3 icon, right click drawing tools, then pull down the list of styles to select Overland CC3 (you can repeat this on any other styles)

2. Select the first Terrain Default, Forest (let's take Forest, Mixed as an example)

3. Click the "Command to Execute" button
SELSAVE
SELBYP
FORESTLOAD #system\fillers\mixed.fil
FOREST
CHANGEL VEGETATION
SELREST

4. Add GROUP before SELREST - eg:

SELSAVE
SELBYP
FORESTLOAD #system\fillers\mixed.fil
FOREST
CHANGEL VEGETATION
GROUP
SELREST

5. Repeat this with each style.

It's that simple a change to the macro? Doh!
