You can use Toggle It! and Hide It! mods for this functionality.

This WOULD be incredible if it worked, please continue to work on this project I am begging you!

just wait for new free update it gonna have features like this mod :)

AAAAAAA GOODNESS! I JUST FOUND WHAT I NEED! @.@

But it's broken· '―'

Got this error as well

A Mod caused an error [ModException]

The mod give me this error after clean instal no mod activeted, before I load any save game. I would like fix for this mod.

The mod triggers a fatal game error.

Confirmed.
The same happened to me.
I spent hours removing the MODs one by one until I remove this MOD.
Then stopped the problem.
By adding this MOD error recurs again.
Unbelievable fragility.

CS won't start with this mod.
I uninstalled all other mods, and still CS doesn't start.
Too bad :-(

This was such a great addition! Would love an update! :)

A necessity for ocd people, would appreciate this if it got an update to work with 1.3 c:

@Felius I haven't had any luck anything which provides the grid overlay which I really loved. The closest precision-wise is "Precision Engineering".

@RedSnt Sadly seems like the case. Had to spend the entire weekend going through my subscribed mods to figure out which one was causing an error as soon as I opened the main menu.

Are there any similar mods, at least until this gets updated again?

This unfortunately doesn't seem to work after 1.3 update

GREAAAAAAAT MOD
Can u plz add a button for the road assist panel on the menu? or somewhere? i keep forgetting to press alt+j hehehehehehe

@fadster - I had a real busy summer and have since started a new job which has made it hard to keep things up to date. In fact I moved to the US and so have onyl had internet access at work for a bit ...

I'd be super happy if you issues a PR and even took on some of the maintenance yourself. Hopefully in the future I'll find some time to give these mods some needed TLC but right now it's unlikely.

Hi there, are you still maintaining this? If so, would it be possible not to open the panel on startup? If not, I would like to issue a pull request to make the changes myself and maintain the mod in the long term. Thanks!

have used this in the past with no problems. tried to use it again today . . . after clicking "tile clamp", it would not accept "node clamp" again. tile clamp could be unticked, but node clamp could not be clicked.

This persisted across game starts. Is there a config file somewhere that I can delete?

awesome would be, if you could combine your tool with an existing roadmap... so it'll become much more easier to to rebuild real world cities :)

snap option would be really awesome

Snap to grid option, please.

Anyone know of other mods that interfere with the hot-keys for this mod? Alt-G and Alt-J in particular?
(we seriously need a button to bring up options... like, fast...)

Love this mod, has been super helpful in my city grid building :) one thing, Could you mark the center of the grid? like make the center blue for just 4 "tiles"? i hate having to count out 24 red boxes every time I a new plot and want the center. alternatively, there could be a .png that can be edited for the grid image.

If you manage to make it so that roads can actually snap to the grid and that it would work in the map editor the mod would be perfect. ;)

@Stephen - I will add that to my things to do :)

Can we have an option to hide it, by default? I won't forget about it. ;-)

I can't wait to see this with a snap to grid option

@ګćĦۼŕžعҖїᾐﻭ - I'm hoping my method will work a bit more nicely, and also removes pressure on an already bloated UI. Try it out, if people really hate it I can consider doing something else :).

A Camera zoom mod has the movement with shift to speed up and control to slow down the movement and when none of them pressed, there is the default movement. maybe thats something good too

UPDATE - I have added an opacity slider and tweaked the movement. The grid will now accelerate, but starts off much much slower to allow finer movement.

I am still working on snapping the grid to terrain patches - as I said it's very nearly there, I just need to work on an intuitive way to include it.

Sorry for the delayed response here - I've been busy with revision and so haven't had much time to work on this. Thanks for all the positive feedback though!

@⌊✕⌉⌈✕⌋ - As noone else has reported the issue I'd say it is probably another mod interfering with the camera in some way.

@Krush (and other w.r.t grid snap) - I will try to look into it, but it's not just a switch that turns on in the Asset editor.

@Koitenshin - I will make changes to the movement system. Perhaps an acceleration system so that it can still be moved fairly quickly when held. Any suggestions?

@Greg - I have already created and opacity slider - the grid looks much nicer when the opacity is lower so that will be included soon.

Keep suggestions coming guys!

I think to really have this be useful, the grid movement needs to be more precise, you need to be able to snap to the grid, and the opacity needs to be adjustable.

It appears the grid moves way too fast using the arrow keys for this to be of much use for me.

5 stars for ya!

OMG!!

Great! I can do without snapping as long as we got such grid guide =) No more quiting to asset editor for me... Though if possible the movement control need to be refined so it don't move such quick.

Extremely helpful tool, thanks!

@.A I've been looking into the snapping stuff too, and really all you need to do is figure out what is getting enabled in Asset Editor that makes a grid display / snap turn on (for roads) and enable them all the time.

The Toggle-Buildings-Function doesn't work for me. Buildings are always visible.

@albany_ - yes it is only a visual reference. I was inititally aiming at getting the roat to snap to the grid, turns out that is super hard to do. I would need to replace and significantly rewrite some of the tools and managers currently in the game.

That said, unless I'm misunderstanding what this is supposed to do, it only appears to be useful as a visual reference since the road tools don't appear to snap to the grid.

@Krush -- just checked, appears to work in the map editor.

@.A Does this work in the map editor?

Needed this, thankyou.

@OniDisco - Thanks for letting me know. I imagine it was just an error with the cache.
@Japa - I think I already have the basic functionality down, I'll try to incorporate it intuitively into the mod :)

Yes. Exactly aligned NSEW. Bonus points if it also lines up exactly on the edges.

.A
Appears to work now. I had loaded the mod in an existing game, subscribed and unsub'ed to your mod and got that exception. But whatever the issue it appears to work. Wanted to say thanks for the nice work and follow-up so you were aware that it's not broken.

@Japa, @Cantora - This should be fairly easy to do, but I just want to confirm I understand what you mean. You want to fit it exactly to a terrain patch (the areas you unlock)?

thanks for this. awesome work!
and re: Japa - I agree. I like to position NSEW just because I am freakin' OCD

Can this there also be a button to snap this exactly to the terrain grid? I need it for reasons.
