Title: Getting Rid of Grid Lines in Build Mode
Post by: Ashkitty on 2009 June 13, 00:58:43
So, I take a lot of screen shots and seeing grid lines everywhere is a huge annoyance. It seems to bother other people too, as I've seen mention of it in various places. I also happen to build lots pretty often, and noticed when you select the "paint terrain" tool, the grid lines poof. Terrain paint, after some lazy testing, seems to be the only way to do this... but it's a lot quicker than a remove grid lines cheat, seeing as how I don't think there is one yet...?

Anyway. I was also wondering if there was any disadvantage to doing it this way, but I don't think I've seen any in my experience. Hope this helps someone.

You can turn the interior grid on or off.  It's the square next to the day/night toggle.

No, I was talking about the grid lines that aren't removed with that feature. Using the terrain paint option removes everything, while, IIRC, the grid on/off button leaves some. I'll test it momentarily.

Edit: Yeah, you were partially correct. The grid on/off toggle toggles the interior grid only. The terrain paint option, however, removes all gridding.

I've just resorted to Terrain Paint. I'd love to find a code that would turn them off.

Me too. They actually make it *harder* to place things, as opposed to just eyeballing it.
