Hello guys,

I’m new here on the platform and I’m creating an application but I’m not getting a line in my layout below the other, can someone help me?

Hi, welcome to Thunkable! Can you post a screenshot of the Design screen for your project? And explain where/why you’re expecting lines where there aren’t any?

Hello thank you so much.

Below, see an image of how I want the buttons to look, always with 4 buttons each.

You can do this by creating a row of buttons (1 row with 4 buttons inside it) and cloning them – fairly **difficult** if you’re new to Thunkable. Or you can create a column and put 3 rows inside the column. Then put 4 buttons inside each row.

Rows allow you to place components next to each other (horizontally). Columns allow you to place components on top of each other (vertically).

If you Google _row column thunkable_ you’ll see documentation and video tutorials related to this.

Hi @dantec.sbcvr,

do you mean a horizontal line between the rows? I do this that way:

- place a label between two rows
- delete the lable’s text (or enter a single space)
- set label’s width to “fit container”
- set label’ height to “absolute 1px” or “absolute 2px”, this is the line’s thickness.
- set label’s background color to black or other dark color. Or set it to TRANSPARENT to be just a spacer.

Hey @dantec.sbcvr,

Do you just need to add some Rows to your design so that everything is in 4 lines?

OK. Thank you very much Michael\_Rogulla.  
After a long time I did it. I put 1 column and 2 rows, then another column and 2 rows and then I just made the spacings.
