World Machine and Vertex Welds

Sometimes, when I'm using World Machine to make maps for CitiesXL, the image I am working on disappears while I'm building the polygons. My PC is powerful so I guess it's a World Machine issue.
To get around the problem I finish the current polygon and start another knowing I can weld the vertex's together afterwards. When I do this the image shows again.

 Just drag one point in the polygon to another and it will weld. Be careful when you do this that your welding the correct points as un-welding them can sometimes make a bit of a mess. I've had points shoot across the screen a few times.

 It also comes in handy to allow small bodies of water to exist in the map by making multiple polygons and welding them in a way so the body of water will show. See the image above where I have joined three polygons together at certain points to create a lake.

4shared Premium Trick

I was on 4shared the other day uploading stuff to my account. I have a lot of folders to add so thought I would use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload my folders but... free users can not use FTP! Free users can only upload files and not folders.

I checked out the prices and noticed there was a button saying free for Citrio users. Citrio is a new browser similar to Chrome.

I did not want to install Citrio as I have read a few bad reviews about it so I had a think on how I could use it. I then remembered I still had VMware installed with a Windows 7 PC ready to roll.
I fired it up, downloaded Citrio and installed it. I followed the instructions about adding a link into the address bar and hey presto, my account was changed to premium.

I can not use 4shared on my real PC unless I convert it back to a free account.


For the mean time I can use premium features on my virtual Windows 7 and not worry about any nasty stuff that might be lurking around caused by Citrio. When I have finished uploading all the folders that I need to add, I'll then convert my account back to free and carry on using 4shared in Firefox on my real PC.

If anyone finds this useful, leave a comment :)

Hey! Welcome!



Did you know that something useless now, might by useful later?

That's what this blog is all about. It's going to be full of all types of random stuff.
