Rectangles

Rectangles define rectangular areas in your Document. They are useful for floors, walls, platforms, collision zones, background blocks, trigger areas, and any other box-shaped piece of layout.

Rectangles can be plain layout data, or they can use a Tile to control their visual appearance.

Placing Rectangles

1. Select the Rectangle tool. Keyboard shortcut: R.
2. Click and drag in the document workspace to draw the box.
3. Move, resize, rename, or assign a Tile as needed.
4. Reorder the Rectangle in the sidebar if draw order or export order matters.

Tips

• With an existing Rectangle selected, press Ctrl/Cmd + D to duplicate it in place, then drag the copy to a new location.
• Use Ctrl/Cmd + C and Ctrl/Cmd + V to copy and paste Rectangles.
• Put Rectangles inside Rooms when they belong to a specific section of the level.

Rectangles appear in Code Export and preview data. Your game code can decide whether each Rectangle should render art, create collision, mark a gameplay zone, or serve another purpose.
