    Hey Mapcore! I have some problem recently. I don't know exactly how to do Borders like this the correct way. For me it looks odd because the brush gets thicker on the slanted edges. Can you maybe help me to understand how to do it the proper way?


    Check out this image for better explanation:

    I used two different methods to add those borders but as you can see the thickness of the slanted brushes is totally different than the not-slanted brushes. How do I do it the prober way so it's the same width even slanted?


    Thanks for your help already! have a nice evening!

    Reduce the size of the grid and drag the two outer vertices of the diagonal shape with the vertex tool more towards the corners, to make the diagonal shapes wider. Afaik there's no way to make them exact as wide as the other parts.

    Well for starters... you have a mix of straight and 45° junctions, at least decide on that and do all the same? If you go straight like on the left-hand side, if not perfect the thickness is surely closer.
