). Select a point at the bottom left of the map border then the top left.Whilst you can draw your dungeons with a white floor on a white background, they look better if they have a bit of color. DD Pro is configured to let you create solid color backgrounds and floors. You can also add symbol fill styles such as tiles and square grids.
However, CC3 is not a paint package and you can’t just point a flood fill tool at an area. You can only fill enitites that are completely enlosed like circles and polygons. However, you can make fillable areas out of anything - including floorplans - using the Multipoly command.
DD Pro also has layers specially configured for adding color.
