New page

==Gridwork?==
*Gridwork is a term used to describe properly using the grid and gridsizes to create buildings and such in Sandbox in a way that is proportionally realistic and also doesn't cause major issues later on.
==Gridwork Rules==
===MisanthropX===
*These rules are from "MisanthropX", a member on the Quadropolis forums.
<font size=2>

default gridsizes we need:
12~9 - only for copy big parts,like 1 part of a ctf map, not for real editing though
8~7 - for copying smaller parts of the map, like houses, terrains etc
6~5 - for building the Main layout, and making buildings, roofs etc, mountains, materials
4 - default size for Crates, Terrain Size, materials
3 - Size to hollow buildings, making doors, windows, wall thickness,
2 - default size for planks, details, borders
1~0 - Details only, you should NEVER ever create buildings with it

Cause we want to avoid Lagness (WTR)
WTR gives back the number of polygons in your map in k (k = kilo = 1000)
think about like Lagness in Percentage, your map should have not more then 100k (%) WTR
more then 100k causes lag, on good computers maps can have up to 200k~300k wtr
but because Sauerbraten is a platform for poor computers too try to make it 100k
for example Urban_C got 56k WTR, so it wont lag

*and as later stated by RaZgRiz:

Learn when its safe using a different gridsize than the one selected to make a change without ruining the selected area. I rely on you to expand this ^^

		+	Create doors at 3 in height and 2 in width using a grid size of 3.
