Wall Tool

The Wall tool is useful for adding walls inside or outside dungeon areas. Press W or B+7 to select it.

Drawing Walls

Click to place points one at a time. Double-click to finish the wall.
With Snap off, you can also click and drag to draw an unsnapped line.

Erasing walls

To erase a wall, draw over it using another tool such as the Rectangle tool. The correct mode depends on where the wall is located:

• If the wall is inside a dungeon area, use Draw mode

• If the wall is outside a dungeon area, use Erase mode.

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.

Rough mode

When Rough mode is on, an additional step allows you to control how irregular the wall's outline appears. After drawing your wall, 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. To toggle Rough mode on or off with a keyboard shortcut, press Shift+R.

Dash

When Dash is on, the wall is drawn as a dashed line. Use the Dash size setting to control the length of the dashes.

Using the Wall tool for annotations

The Wall tool can also be used as a general line drawing tool for adding annotations to your map. To do this, create a new layer and turn off hatching and shading on that layer. With Snap off, you can then use the Wall tool to draw freeform lines such as arrows or other markers.
