Level design in modern games is all about modularity! In Part 11 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we take a professional approach to building our store room by importing and configuring three different wall variants.

I’ll show you how to use the Move, Rotate, and Scale tools effectively to snap your pieces together. You’ll also learn how to use the Top Orthographic view for pixel-perfect alignment and a clever "Scale" trick to flip assets for the perfect fit.
