Grid pieces

The base of the course is made up of the red walls. These are called grid pieces. The first pages of the palette consist of grid pieces. They align to a grid in the course area. The sizes of the grids vary according to the size of your monitor. A thirteen inch or larger monitor will have a ten by ten grid, a nine inch monitor will have a seven by six grid. To view the grid select Toggle grid from the View menu. This grid can be hidden again by selecting Toggle grid again. The grid can be visible or not visible but the grid is always active. 

To move grid pieces from the palette to the course area click on the piece you want to add to your course and drag it onto the course area. Once on the course area you can move it by clicking on it again and dragging it to a new location. If you hold down the option key while dragging a piece already on the grid the piece is copied and put at the new location.

Sometimes placing the grid pieces on the grid is a little tricky (especially when placing diagonal pieces). Try toggling the grid view on to see exactly where the pieces will go when you place them.

Grid pieces become selected when you click on them. When selected you can move them one grid space at a time by using the arrow keys or number keys on the numeric keypad (8 up, 4 left, 6 right, 2 down). If you hit the backspace (delete) key the selected grid piece will be deleted.

There are some special grid pieces that don't have walls on them. They are for landscaping only. Normally these would be placed outside the playing area. They can be placed anywhere on the hole but they will not effect the ball at all.
