Map

A Map represents a spatial template that defines a coordinate system for placing elements within your world. Maps can embody a 2D or 3D object where Pins locate individual elements and Markers collectively define Zones. They can be nested hierarchically to represent different layers of a world or location.

Maps are the spatial foundation of your world. They interact with:

  • Pins (which place individual elements at specific coordinates)
  • Markers (which define Zone boundaries through coordinate sets)
  • Locations (which Maps can represent spatially)
  • Other Maps (through hierarchical parent-child relationships)

They are distinct from:

  • Locations (which are named places with properties and relationships)
  • Zones (which are meaningful areas defined by Markers on a Map)
