Create grids and grid lines

A grid represents a three-dimensional complex of horizontal and vertical planes. The grid is shown on the view plane using dash-and-dot lines. Use grids as an aid in locating objects in a model. You can make grids and grid lines act magnetically so that the objects on the grid lines follow if you move the grid line.

Grid terminology

(1) Grid origin is the point where the zero points of each coordinate axis intersect

(2) Grid line extensions define how far the grid lines extend in each direction

(3) Grid labels are the names of the grid lines shown in views

Modular grid

You can have more than one grid in a model. We strongly advise that you create a modular grid, so that you can easily place objects in your model. For example:

Single grid lines

You can create single grid lines and attach them to an existing grid.

Single grid lines have handles. If theSelect grid line selection switch is active and you select a grid line, the handles appear in magenta. If you move the handles to make a skewed grid, you can do this only on the local XY plane of the grid.
