Inkarnate Hex Grid V.S Roll20 Hex Grid

Hello Community, quick question, Does anyone know how to make a Horizontal Hex Map using Inkarnate match the Horizontal Hex map of Roll 20. I use Square Grids for dungeons and that works great, but for cities and Regions, Horizontal Hex maps just work better.

Hi ZelectheWise,  IIRC, Inkarnate hex grids can fit the Roll20 hex grid, it just requires aligning the grid manually when you drop it into Roll20.  Unfortunately, there is probably no way for you to create the Inkarnate hex grid so that it automatically aligns to Roll20's hex grid. Roll20 uses a mathematical formula for the Hex Grid rather than a specific number of pixels.  If you need help aligning it let me know.

If you can create a map in Inkarnate without the grid, that would be the best approach, and just use the roll20 Grid.
