This tutorial will cover the steps needed to create a Ground Map out of existing PMD map sheets. A Ground Map is a free-movement map outside of dungeons or in cutscenes between dungeons. We will attempt to recreate Temporal Pinnacle from Explorers of Time/Darkness.

	Before starting, it is highly recommended you begin with your game set to a mod as covered in the [[Modding Intro]], so that you’re editing a mod instead of the base game. The tutorial will move forward with that assumption.

	~~Click~~ on the top-left tile, and then ~~Right~~-~~Click~~ the end of the first animation ~~to multi-select~~:		Chosen tiles are shown with a red box. It is possible to multi-select by right-clicking on other tiles. Let's do this be first clicking on the top-left tile in the tileset (X0 Y0), and then right-clicking the end of the first animation frame (X4 Y4):

	[[File:GroundEditor_TileSelectMulti.png\|frameless]]		[[File:GroundEditor_TileSelectMulti.png\|frameless]]

	Turn on animations and set the frame length to 30:		This gives us a 5x5 selection area. If we were to click on the map with these tiles selected, it would place all 5x5 tiles to the map. But we're not going to do that yet.
			Turn on animations by selecting the "Animated" checkmark, and set the frame length to 30:

	Shift+Click to automatically add new frames to the animation. Shift+Right Click to do it while preserving the multiselect:		When in Animated mode, choosing tiles from the tileset will change the CURRENT frame in the animation, with the option to add more. However, you can Shift+Click to automatically add new frames to the animation, and Shift+Right Click to do it while preserving the multiselect. Add a new frame with multi-select, by Shift+Right Clicking on the start tile of the second frame of animation (X0 Y5):
