I've just watched a video about Block Grids with Kenn Jacobsen in which at around 2:30 we see blocks automatically being aligned horizontally when there are sufficient columns

This doesn't seem to be possible in version 13.1 which I'm currently evaluating. Was this feature removed?
It seems that we now have to define a new 'Element Type' for each combination of columns which we want our templates to support?
I think once you've added your block type (then it's moved since that video), if you click on the block after you've added it, then in the 'Settings' for the block,, beneath the Permissions group, there is a group for 'Size Options'
and it's here you can specify the available size options in column spans and row spans for the block...

Hi Phil
Do you mean the column and row spans?

Some info in the docs:
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/block-grid-editor#size-options
and if blocks have multiple size options they can be scaled by the editors
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/block-grid-editor#scaling-blocks
But also found this 'example' site really useful to playaround with:

Hi Marc,
I could swear that last week the blocks were refusing to align horizontally but it's working nicely this morning.
Thanks anyway for pointing me in the right direction!
