This is the '''"Snap to Grid"''' button:[[Image:Snap_To_Grid.jpg]] This button toggles grid snapping on and off.  This makes sure that when you move an object around the cell it snaps at unit intervals of 256, 128, 64, or whatever else you specify.  We will leave Grid Snapping on for the remainder of this tutorial. You will need to change your snap settings from time to time, depending on what pieces you are using.  The Hotkey for this button is "'''Q'''".  Take a moment now to ensure the button is depressed and snapping is active.

We will set the grid settings now. Click Mouse 2 or (RMB) on the render window which will bring up options. Then click Render Window Properties. The next step is to click the Movement tab. Please make sure for the purposes of this tutorial that Snap to Grid field setting is set to 256, if not change it now. You can also change your Snap to Angle setting now, if it is not already set to 45.
We will set the grid settings now. Click Mouse 2 or (RMB) on the render window which will bring up options. Then click Render Window Properties. The next step is to click the Movement tab. For most of this tutorial a 256 grid snap should be fine.  There may be times when you need to drop the grid snap down to make certain pieces fit. You can also change your Snap to Angle setting now, if it is not already set to 45.
