Problem with placing isometric tiles above and below each other

In unity when using the in built tale palette to place tiles into the scene, I have come across a small problem. Im using an isometric tile-map and whenever i go to place a block, I end up placing a tile right above another tile. So if i was to for example place a tile at z=0, if i wanted to place a block above that I would have to have my mouse hover over the bottom of that tile but instead my mouse detects the top region of the previous tile which places the new tile farther and not just above. Only way I know to place that block is, go to and empty space outside and from a specific point you hover ur mouse under the block then increase the z with subtract. This is horrible for building a proper map. Is there a way to restrict it so that i can only click on the bottom of the tile? (i'm attaching screenshots if it didn’t make sense)



1.Can place tile above old tile when hovering over the bottom of the first tile


2.But when hovering exactly over the first tile, it places new tile at a different level

 

this is still confusing maybe a video would work?

 

I think I might do a video cause my problem might be something basic I am not understanding

 

I would like for my mouse to only hover over the bottom of the tile. I am going to post a video and try showing what I mean

 

As you can see I for example wanted to place a tile above an old tile but since its hovering overing the top of the tile, it places the tile in a weird spot

Edit:

Heres more of what I mean

I want to place a tile above the one I am hovering on at z=2

 

can you like just edit the position (transform) in the inspector?

 

You mean any tile specifically? Pretty sure you cant, they aren’t game objects.

 

Can You Make Them Game Objects?

 

Yeah but that defeats the whole purpose of using tilemaps. Making every tile an individual game object is not the way to go to create an entire level, objects are probably useful in cases where you have moving tiles which you want to lerp/tween them.

 

Thanks, looking forward to any kind of solutions!
