Size and Spacing

Child dimensions affect layout. Gap separates children, Padding adds inner space, and Margin adds outer space. Alignment needs unused container space.

Basic Grid overrides child dimensions unless Advanced > Use Original Item Dimensions is enabled. Sections also have an inner content area.

Some elements and older designs use different controls. A loop's List > Layout separately arranges repeated items.
