A Grid Layer displays a configurable grid on your map. Use Grid Layers to align objects, create maps for tabletop games, or provide visual reference while editing.

Multiple Grid Layers can be added to a map, allowing different grid styles or overlays to be displayed simultaneously.

Main Grid

One Grid Layer is designated as the Main Grid. The Main Grid is used by features that support Snap to Grid, such as the Land Tool, Brush Tool, Stamp Tool, and Line & Shape Tools.

Change the Main Grid by right-clicking a Grid Layer and selecting Set as Main Grid.

Layer Options

Grid Layers provide the following settings:

• Grid Shape: Choose between Rectangles, Isometric Rectangles, Hexagons, and Rotated Hexagons.

• Columns: Controls the number of grid columns.

• Rows: Controls the number of grid rows.

• Horizontal Offset: Moves the grid horizontally.

• Vertical Offset: Moves the grid vertically.

• Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the grid.

• Line Width: Controls the thickness of the grid lines.

• Color: Choose the grid color using the Color Picker.
