tile stacking question

[xcom]

So I'm trying to design a forest map.  I was looking at the default "LOST FOREST"  premade map that comes with VX Ace.  There's something they did in that premade map that I can't seem to figure out how to reproduce that effect. 

The premade forest map that comes with VX Ace:

In this example you can see how the edges of the tall grass "tucks under the edge" of what's I could call the top of the trees.  That's the effect I'm trying to copy here.

This is how it's coming out for me.

Every time I try to do it.  I always end up getting that little gap between the tall grass and the tree tops. 

I'm using the exact same map and settings (at least I believe I have it the same) yet I'm getting a different effect. 

I would greatly appropriate any help in explaining what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks!

You have to use shift-click when you map. I believe there are some tutorials in the tutorial section that explain how to do this. I'd try, but I'm afraid I'd confuse you. The basics though, is to hold the shift button when you select your tile and it in essence "turns off" the auto part of the autotiles.

adding: Just a tip I've learned the hard way, if you are doing this with a large section (like copying a building or something), make sure you are in pencil mode not the square draw mode, otherwise you will end up frustrated.

And that would be the proper answer!  I completely forgot about shift clicking tiles.  Thank you!
