You can of course also use a simple quad mesh and create custom textures for each tile type. Please have a look at the 2.5D Tiles and the 2.5D Island sample scene for this purpose. **Here are some tips and tricks for you to create custom tiles.** 1. Use a cube 1x1 as the boundings reference, and make sure the 3D mesh of the tile stays inside of this cube. In the following image you can see the reference cube (highlighted) I've used to create the corner tile. I've added some additional edges to it for reference.

2. Make sure vertices snap to the next tile to prevent unwanted gaps. 3. Set the pivot point to the center of the tile before exporting. Use the reference cube to snap the pivot point accordingly. 4. If not required, create tiles for the Dual Grid workflow as this reduces required tiles to only 5.

5. If you're creating tiles for the dual grid workflow, remember that you can freely use the whole space of the before mentioned bounding reference cube. So for example the outer edge of a corner tile can expand ### Dual Grid tile types

* Edge * Corner * Interior Corner * Double Corner * Fill ### Normal Grid tile types

* Single * Dead End * Edge * Corner * Threeway * Fourway * Edge Fill * Threeway Fill * Corner Fill * Interior Corner * Edge Corner Fill * Fill * Double Corner * Tripple Corner --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://giantgrey.gitbook.io/tileworldcreator-v4-documentation/custom-tiles.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
