Tiles above the worktop can be set up to be placed automatically via the Draw settings window. This window opens automatically when you start a new alternative; see the article Drawing settings for more information.
Note: To avoid unwanted gaps in the tiling, the units need to be positioned to the wall exactly (either manually or by using the automatic offset to the wall function). For more information see article Automatic offset from wall
