So I move my mouse to the Command Box and type 'T' (capitalized and without quotations and without hitting ENTER). I assume this is where I should begin my trace.Д¤.

At this point the Command Box says, 'DEL - back, Space - Randomize, L/R Arrows - Depth, U/D Arrows - Strength, T - Trace'.

First I click the ON button (so it will attach to the edge of the poly) and select the edge of the mountain's footprint, thus beginning my line.ДЈ. (In NK's tutorial it would be the BORDER DEFAULT tool).Дў. First, I click the TERRAIN DEFAULT - MOUNTAIN SHADING tool. Like I said in the OP, I'm trying to create mountains using the method in Fantasy Realms (the kind from 3e forgotten realms) though I assume the tracing method here is identical to tracing a coastline or river for the purposes of making a political map.ДЎ. Perhaps someone could show me where exactly I'm messing up. I just don't get it.ДЄt what point do I type 'T' in the Command Box? What should happen to indicate the trace command is working? No matter what I do it either continues to make a fractal line without tracing or backs out of the line creation entirely.

This is how I felt when people were trying to teach me how to roller skate backwards. I woke up super excited to give this a whirl, but despite the simplicity with which this appears to be performed based on both the instructions that come with the FR Annual as well as NeonKnight's wonderful tutorial, I STILL cannot get it. I see in the Command box the instructions: Seems to me there should be a sort of 'magic wand' effect where the line hugs the existing line. Problem is it doesn't trace anything and only makes a big ugly fractal line and eventual polygon that isn't a trace. Next I want to click further down the spine so my line traces it and then continue to it's other endpoint and the around the outside of one side of the footprint and finishing off back where I started. This attaches a line to to the end of the spine. So I select the 'mountain shading' tool, then select the 'endpoint' button and click on the end of the spine. Now I want to trace the spine and one half of the footprint for the purposes of shading. WeвЂ™d then start a new trace atД¬, select D to trace, trace the edge of the base along D andД®nd the trace and the tool at A. The drawing tool at A, select B to trace, then start the traceДЄt A and end the trace at C. Looking at the diagram of our example, we'd start Click to start the tool then use the toolвЂ™s TraceДЇunction to trace the spine and then trace the outer edge of Simply, it is as wide as you want to suit your map. Next select the Mountain Base drawing tool.
