Infrastructure
Part of Map Making Tools
You can add two types of infrastructure:
- Points of Interest
- Routes
Once created, they are shown in the sidebar as cards. Each card has four buttons:
- Visibility: Set whether the feature will be visible to players, the GM or completely hidden.
- Focus View: Clicking this will pan the map and zoom to the feature.
-
Edit Details: You can edit the feature's name, add a description and:
- For Points of Interest, change the marker icon and its size.
- For Routes, change its Quick Style, its colour, thickness and its line style (solid, dashed or dotted).
- Delete
Descriptions for Points of Interest will be shown as tooltips if you hover over its marker. Descriptions can be styled using <HTML> elements, including referencing images, etc.
The Edit Infrastructure toolbar offers the following buttons and options:
- Place Point of Interest: Used to drop markers on the map.
- Draw Route: Used to draw routes (roads, sea routes, etc). Routes are made up of nodes and a smooth line is drawn connecting each node.
The remainder of the toolbar depends on which of the above two options is active:
-
Points of Interest
- Select Marker Icon: Select the icon to be used as the marker. The size of the marker can be changed inside "Edit Details" from the sidebar (see above). Custom marker icons can be added in Style Library.
- Colour / Size Set the colour and size of the icon. The font size of the initial label will be the same as the pin size.
-
Routes
- Snap to Points: If enabled, route nodes will try to snap to a nearby point of interest.
- Quick Styles: Apply any of your custom Quick Styles (managed in Style Library) to set the colour, thickness, and line style.
- Colour / Thickness / Style Each property can be customised. All three can be changed from inside "Edit Details" (see above).
