Zones can be used to sketch a rough map, to define sections of a game level or to mark specific trigger-areas.

Zones can be rectangular, circular or custom-shaped (polygonal):

How to draw zones?

Pick one of the zone tools from the toolbar:

Choose the zone-type you want to create from the toolbar and simply start drawing.

To create a polygonal (custom-shaped) zone left-click on the canvas to define the boundary points of the zone. Use right-click to finish the zone, this automatically closes the shape by connecting the lastly created point with the first one.

Rectangular and circular zones are created by holding down the left mouse-button while moving the mouse-cursor. Release the left mouse-button to finish the zone.

Editing existing zones

To edit a zone afterwards, double-click the shape. While a zone is in edit-mode you can move every single point 1 to change the overall shape.

Furthermore you can add points to a zone by left-click on the zone's border 2.

To delete individual points hold CTRL and left-click the point you want to remove.

Transform zones

You can also transform zones to resize or rotate them easily.
