# What is a Tileset⤶
⤶
Tilesets allow for the quick replacement of basic geometry for more complex models/geo. The Tiles selected are determined by the characteristics of the tilemesh and through tile properties selected by the user.⤶
⤶
#Creating a basic tileset⤶
⤶
##Step 1:⤶
When creating the vmap file it is important that it ends with **`_tileset`**. This allows the vmap to show up when selecting the tileset in the tilemesh properties.⤶
⤶
##Step 2:⤶
To create a tileset hover over the **Tile** tab and select the **Create tile set** .⤶

⤶
##Step 3:⤶
Select it in the **Outliner** and rename the tileset in **Object Properties** to **`Base`**.⤶

⤶
##Step 4:⤶
To create a tile first create a mesh, while in **Mesh** ( <key>4</key> ) mode go to the **Tile** tab and select **Create Single Tile** ( <key>Ctrl</key>+<key>Shift</key>+<key>O</key> ) *`Note: The tile will be created separately in the outliner so it needs to be dragged into the Base-Tileset`*⤶

⤶
##Step 5:⤶
The default width and height of the tile is 256. To change this to match the mesh first select the tile then go to the **Object Properties**. From there the **Base Width** and **Base Height** can be adjusted.⤶

⤶
##Step 6:⤶
After all that you should be able to create a tilemesh from an existing mesh, select the tileset from within **Object Properties** and see your mesh be replaced with tiles from the tileset.⤶
