		Node for 3D tile-based maps.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		GridMap lets you place meshes on a grid interactively. It works both from the editor and from scripts, which can help you create in-game level editors.
		GridMaps use a [MeshLibrary] which contains a list of tiles. Each tile is a mesh with materials plus optional collision and navigation shapes.
		A GridMap contains a collection of cells. Each grid cell refers to a tile in the [MeshLibrary]. All cells in the map have the same dimensions.
		Internally, a GridMap is split into a sparse collection of octants for efficient rendering and physics processing. Every octant has the same dimensions and can contain several cells.
		[b]Note:[/b] GridMap doesn't extend [VisualInstance3D] and therefore can't be hidden or cull masked based on [member VisualInstance3D.layers]. If you make a light not affect the first layer, the whole GridMap won't be lit by the light in question.

			<description>
				Returns the [RID] of the navigation map this GridMap node uses for its cell baked navigation meshes.

		<method name="make_baked_meshes">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="gen_lightmap_uv" type="bool" default="false" />
			<param index="1" name="lightmap_uv_texel_size" type="float" default="0.1" />
			<description>
				Generates a baked mesh that represents all meshes in the assigned [MeshLibrary] for use with [LightmapGI]. If [param gen_lightmap_uv] is [code]true[/code], UV2 data will be generated for each mesh currently used in the [GridMap]. Otherwise, only meshes that already have UV2 data present will be able to use baked lightmaps. When generating UV2, [param lightmap_uv_texel_size] controls the texel density for lightmaps, with lower values resulting in more detailed lightmaps. [param lightmap_uv_texel_size] is ignored if [param gen_lightmap_uv] is [code]false[/code]. See also [method get_bake_meshes], which relies on the output of this method.
				[b]Note:[/b] Calling this method will not actually bake lightmaps, as lightmap baking is performed using the [LightmapGI] node.

			<param index="2" name="orientation" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Sets the mesh index for the cell referenced by its grid coordinates.
