Asside from using grid snap I don't think so. My best advice would be to increase the size of the grid when alligning dungeon pieces. Also make sure the first piece you place is aligned to the grid.

Vagrant0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 The easiest way is to just figure out the proportions of the various pieces. For instance, all the brick walls are the same length, so to make a long wall, use duplicate an a previously placed segment, move it to a spot where it aligns perfectly with the previous segment, then figure out the difference between their positions by looking at their coordinates when double clicking. Then with the next piece of wall, make a duplicate of the last segment, bring up properties, and add/subtract that value from the coordinates. The problem with grids is that not every piece has the same dimentions, so until you know what the dimentions are for some pieces, you can't set the grid to a value that can be multiplied to equal both numbers. In some cases this is 16, in others it could be as low as 8 or 4. Personally, I don't use the grid, I type in most of my stuff, it is good practice for those cases where a room or something is on an angle, and grids don't work. But if you know the dimentions, you can figure out the math involved to positioning it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
