2. Advanced Features
Here are some videos demonstrating how to use the module's advanced features.
This feature adds a new layer with an "always visible tiles and tokens". The basic operation is creating a tile, adjust its opacity, create a wall and link both objects with the "Select Wall" button in isometric tab. One tile can be linked only with one wall, but the same wall can be linked with as many tiles you want.
As can be seen in the video, it can be difficult to edit walls with the "always visible tiles" layer, so was created buttons and shortcuts/keybinds to increase and reduce the opacity of the tiles on this layer while building the scenes.

To create a new isometric projection, you must access my tool at this link here (https://arlosmolten.github.io/isometric-perspective) and follow the steps as indicated below. The video demonstrates this. IMPORTANT: This app website doesn't work on Safari. Use a chromium browser to get the right values.
- When you open the app, you must load an image of the map that will be used as a base. You will use the white square in the center of the screen as a grid cell. You can also drag and zoom the background image with your mouse.
- Click the Show/Hide Helper Graphics button to show the rotation point and the guide lines.
- Adjust the rotate, skewX and skewY values until you find the appropriate angles.
- If necessary, you can click the Unlock Control Limits button to adjust the values in 1 degree intervals, and you can also manually modify the inputs to add decimals.
- You should always make the blue and red lines overlap. You can ensure this if the Blue-Red Lines Angle value is equal to zero.
- After finding the values, copy the line with the 8 values separated by commas below "Custom Isometric Values" and paste it into the section of the same name, in the scene settings in Foundry.
