Constants
---------

.. _class_GridMap_constant_INVALID_CELL_ITEM:

- **INVALID_CELL_ITEM** = **-1** --- Invalid cell item that can be used in :ref:`set_cell_item<class_GridMap_method_set_cell_item>` to clear cells (or represent an empty cell in :ref:`get_cell_item<class_GridMap_method_get_cell_item>`).

Description
-----------

GridMap lets you place meshes on a grid interactively. It works both from the editor and can help you create in-game level editors.

GridMaps use a :ref:`MeshLibrary<class_MeshLibrary>` which contain a list of tiles: meshes with materials plus optional collisions and extra elements.

A GridMap contains a collection of cells. Each grid cell refers to a :ref:`MeshLibrary<class_MeshLibrary>` item. All cells in the map have the same dimensions.

A GridMap is split into a sparse collection of octants for efficient rendering and physics processing. Every octant has the same dimensions and can contain several cells.
