Quick Start — First result in 5 minutes

Follow these steps to add a 2D grid to your Unity scene. No scripting required.

Step 1 — Import the package

Open Window > Package Manager, locate Grids 2D in My Assets and click Import. If you downloaded the .unitypackage manually, double-click it and import all files.

Step 2 — Add the grid to your scene

Drag the Grids2D prefab from Grids2D/Resources/Prefabs into your scene hierarchy. A grid will appear in the Scene view with default settings.

Tip: The grid renders as a flat plane. Position your camera to look straight down (Y-axis) for the clearest 2D view, or use an orthographic camera.

Step 3 — Choose a topology

Select the Grids2D GameObject and find the Topology dropdown in the Inspector. Try each option:

• Irregular — organic Voronoi cells (set cell count).
• Box — rectangular grid (set rows and columns).
• Hexagonal — hexagonal grid (set rows and columns).

Step 4 — Enable interaction

Under Grid Behavior, set Selection Mode to Cells or Territories. Enter Play Mode and hover over the grid — cells will highlight. Click to select.

Step 5 — Explore the demo scenes

Open scenes under Grids2D/Demos/ to see pathfinding, territory colorization, texture painting, and more. Each demo has a script you can study for API usage.

Checklist

• ☑ Package imported successfully

Next steps

Now that your grid is running, explore the Settings reference for all Inspector parameters, or jump to the Scripting guide to control the grid from C# code.
