USEFUL INTERFACE BUTTONS

BOTTOM BAR

In the bottom bar, you’ll find several useful toggles.

  • Show/Hide Grid (G): Many RPG systems and asset pack creators scale each square to represent 5 ft or 1,5 m

  • Snap to Grid (S): Turn off to place assets manually without snapping

  • Lighting Toggle (L): Turn on to enable dynamic lights from lighting placed using the Light Tool

  • Zoom percentage: Choose a zoom percentage from the dropdown menu

  • Alignment Tool (H): Helps align objects even without a grid

  • Ruler Tool (R): Measure distances on the map

  • Levels Tool: Used for creating maps with multiple floors or for layering

  • Compare Levels Tool (C): Used to display two levels at once (covered later)

CONTEXTUAL SHORTCUTS

There’s also a contextual shortcut reminder at the bottom of the screen depending on what tool you’re currently using:
