Glazing is choosing the glass for every piece. The quickest way is in the Draw tab, from the glass bar under the drawing.

  1. 1

    Take the Glaze tool

    Press W for Glaze pieces.

  2. 2

    Pick a glass

    Click a glass in the bar under the drawing. The number on a glass is how many pieces it is on. + at the end of the bar adds another glass to it.

  3. 3

    Click pieces

    Click each piece to glaze it with the glass you picked. With pieces selected, clicking a glass in the bar glazes them all at once.

  4. 4

    Pick up and take off

    Alt-click a piece to pick up its glass. The striped slot at the start of the bar is No glass: click pieces with it to take their glass off.

    A white piece has no glass yet, and the last slot in the bar counts them.

    Tip Glazing changes your working colours. Save them as a colourway to keep a version you like.
