Hello, new mapper here.

This is something that I've never figured out, should I have the walls inside the room?

Or on the outside?

It seems that whatever I do, everything ends up off-grid and ugly.

:gridbigger::gridsmaller: These also make the grid larger or smaller.

I tend to think that putting floors and ceilings along the edges of walls is easier in the long term. So, like your first picture. For sealing your map, though, you can do it either way.

Very helpful tips from both of you. I think I'm in good hands on this site.

Yeah I put walls "inside" as well, and have the walls start on the floor. Also you may want to have the space where two walls meet be a diagonal line from the inside to the outside corner instead via vertex manipulation, so that it's more like |/_ than |_|__
