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. 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 tilemeshs object properties. ##Step 2: To create a tileset hover over the **Tile** tab and select the **Create tile set** . To create a tileset hover over the **Tiles** tab and select the **Create tile set** . <upload src="aafdb/8d98e8cb4f72b64.png" size="55875" name="create tile set.png" /> ##Step 3: Select it in the **Outliner** and rename the tileset in **Object Properties** to **`Base`**. Select the tileset in the **Outliner** and rename the tileset in **Object Properties** to **`Base`**. <upload src="aafdb/8d98e8d08006226.png" size="9386" name="rename.png" /> ##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`* To create a tile first create a mesh, while in **Mesh** ( <key>4</key> ) mode go to the **Tiles** 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`* <upload src="aafdb/8d98e8e93fcd34b.png" size="205531" name="create tile.png" /> ##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. The default width and height of the tile is 256. To change this so it matches the mesh first select the tile then go to the **Object Properties**. From there the **Base Width** and **Base Height** can be adjusted. <upload src="aafdb/8d98e8f47b1ddb8.png" size="74921" name="tile size.png" /> ##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. <upload src="aafdb/8d98e915b3835a9.mp4" size="19747868" name="2021-10-13 22-33-53.mp4" /> #Tile Object Properties | Property | Description | | ------------- |-------------| | Name | The name of the tile | | Base Width | Width of the tile | | Base Height | Height of the tile | | Use Best Size Match | | | Minimum Size Scale | The minimum scale at which the tile can be selected | | Maximum Size Scale | The maximum scale at which the tile can be selected | | Probability Weight | Determines the chance of the tile being selected from multiple tiles of the same size | | Display Base Face | Toggle to show the base geometry | | Align To Axis | | | Rotation Snapping | | | Variation Id | | ##To-do 1.
