I hope this video helps! Let me know if you have any tips or creative ways you use for setting up your map.

I first was introduced to you on Coffin Run, so its like Wetzel is giving me the instructions :) Loved the tutorial and how thorough it was

Just going to put this here in case anyone else had the issue I did. 1. I got the map at a good size but I wanted more grids so it would take the players a turn longer to cross from one end to the other. 2. I adjusted grid size like they outlined and got just what I wanted, however the map was now stretching beyond the boundary. 3. I went to page settings and doubled the page size to match the changes to the grid. Now everything is perfect!

I've been using Roll20 since 2013 and I didn't even know all those tricks (especially the last one). Great video Roll20 team!

7:17 I can't get it to align no matter how I rezise it. I give up, players will have to make due without the grid. So frustrating

I cannot effectively state how counter-intuitive Roll 20 is as a DMing system. I could see if adding special effects like lighting or line of sight needed multiple tutorials, but plopping a picture on a piece of grid paper should be simplicity itself.

Cragmaw Castle was the exact map I needed help for lmao. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you so so much. I had such trouble with this for the longest time. This really helped.

This is really useful. I knew 90% of it but not the Alt+ trick for negating snapping.

@Roll20App 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome, glad we could help. Try alt when rotating and moving tokens as well!

@allmybasketsinoneegg 10 ай бұрын

Another useful trick is that even if you turn off the grid, you can still set units for whatever you like. Miles, milometers or light years. Useful for world maps and figuring out travel times.

I am struggling, Alt is not working it keeps snapping back to the grid

@Reoh0z 2 жыл бұрын

You can change the default new page colour, I like a medium gray so that my eyes don't go blind.

@carlosluna309 2 жыл бұрын

For sure. Gray also does a better job of blending in with the outer background too. I secretly want the option for a wooden table texture. I think that would go great with a lot of these game aesthetics.

@dzjin 2 жыл бұрын

why do you guys have like 4 videos on aligning to a square grid and not a single one for hex grid which is clearly the more difficult one to align

@andreah2o Жыл бұрын

why i don't have "align to grid" option?

@Raxerm 2 жыл бұрын

Somehow I can line up the left and right side by resizing, but there's a discrepancy _in the middle._ My brain figures the discrepancies should accumulate exponentially toward the opposite side of alignment, but if it's exclusively the lines in the middle, is the original image warped? I checked to see if I had resized it so much that I skipped a square, but I didn't, it literally just misaligns by 3 pixels in the middle, and is aligned on both the right and left side.

@Raxerm 2 жыл бұрын

Solved. I'm a doofus. The guy that usually DMs in my friend group saw it immediately; the map was 2 layers of a dungeon and the grids of the separate maps were not aligned. I split the maps in 2 in Photoshop and aligned them individually.

@PonzooonTheGreat 10 ай бұрын

Is there some editing mode that I can't get into or something? My roll 20 looks very different to this. Like at 1:28, I don't have any of those options. I have "settings" "select" "pan" "draw" etc.

Don't have this video listed if you changed the UI. It's confusing.

Literally nothing you did in this video i can do in my roll 20. Has it changed THAT much. Im losing my fucking mind trying to get the grid to work but its just not.
