Ship graphics while converting from BB/BC/CA to CVL/CV

[ursamaior]

In my first game playing as USA I figured out after a while how to convert old ships into carriers (do not like to read manuals ).

I just love the way it is done, yet did not manage to figure out how to change the overhead view. Manage to delete main weaponry turrets, program asks if I am OK with conversion to CV(L). I delete funnels, and there my skills stop. Even upgrading picture do not help. Was trying to draw a rectangle to hide the old superstructure, but it did not work either.

Need help.

I made this video to show how to do a rough CVL conversion in the demo, including a very simple deck & superstucture.

1:18 onwards shows editing the overhead view

In short;
1) Click on the St1 box, move cursor over the ship to reset that line
2) Repeat for St2-St6
3) Click on the X next to the funnels, hit yes to reset them
4) Select St1, make sure 'Assymetric Superstructure' is unticked
5) Draw a rough deck on the left side of the ship picture, clicking places a point, right click ends drawing, 's' snaps in 45 degree increments to near your cursor, and 'd' undoes the last point
6) Repeat for any other symmetrical structures (lifts, etc)
7) Tick 'Assymetric Superstructure', repeat for island, etc. In this mode you can draw on either side of the ship
8) Tick 'Assymetric Funnels', click the '...' in the funnel list, and click to place them

A general note is that the St1-St6 parts are layered, with St2 on top of St1, etc.
