Whats the best way to create a setup area in VASL?

Perhaps not only straight lines, but hexagone grids?

For “setup within 2 hexes of H5” I like to use the Draggable Overlays -> Map Annotations -> N-hex Radius from Center overlays.
Most of the rest of the time I just use the Perimeters Lines from Map Annotations. You can make them super pretty, or super fast, so best is a bit subjective.

Hi @carlsson, I found the perimeter line draggable overlays a bit clunky, so I made an extension which does it with counters instead of overlays, that I typically use for perimeters in CGs but also works for more complex setup areas in regular scenarios:
