The Path tool is useful for creating roads, corridors, tunnels, and freeform areas. It is the most brush-like of the drawing tools. Press B+5 to select it with a keyboard shortcut.
Drawing Paths
The Path tool behaves differently depending on whether Snap is on or off.
- With Snap on, click to place points one at a time. Double-click to finish the path.
- With Snap off, you can still click to place points, but you can also click and drag to draw freeform shapes. The path can cross over and overlap itself, which makes this tool useful as a brush. Double-click to finish the path.
Tool Settings
Mode
Sets whether the tool draws or erases. To toggle between Draw and Erase mode with a keyboard shortcut, press E.
Snap
When Snap is on, points align to the grid based on the current Division setting. To toggle snapping on or off with a keyboard shortcut, press S.
Division
Sets the snapping resolution as a fraction of a grid cell. Works the same way as in the Rectangle tool. To set the division with a keyboard shortcut, press Shift+S followed by a number representing the denominator. For example, Shift+S then 2 sets 1/2 cell snapping, and Shift+S then 3 sets 1/3 cell snapping.
Radius
Sets the thickness of the path. The default radius is roughly half the width of a grid cell. A larger radius produces a wider path; a smaller radius produces a narrower one.
To adjust the radius with a keyboard shortcut, press [ to decrease or ] to increase. The increment is determined by the current Division setting. For example, at 1/3 division the radius will change by one third of a cell width per press. You can also type a value directly into the input field in Tool Settings.
Rough mode
When Rough mode is on, an additional step allows you to control how irregular the path's outline appears. After drawing your path, a line connects your cursor to the edge of the shape. The further you move your cursor away from the shape, the more irregular the outline becomes. This mode is useful for drawing caves or natural terrain. To toggle Rough mode on or off with a keyboard shortcut, press Shift+R.
