Defining and Adjusting the Current Grid

The current grid is a reference to a grid plane and can be set on the status bar.

A quick way of switching the current grid to one at the elevation of a particular node is to right-click on the node and give the “Set Current Grid to This” command on the right-click menu. The current grid is set to a grid on which the node lies, first looking for one parallel to the existing current grid, then for any. If none exists then the program offers to create one parallel to the existing current grid.

The grid can be switched on and off by:

• the Sculpt | Draw Grid (Ctrl+Alt+G) command (also available on the Sculpt toolbar)
• the Draw Grid option in the Graphics Display Palette

The Draw Grid command toggles between displaying grid lines, grid points and no grid, but grid lines are only included in the toggle if grid lines have been specified..

Various sculpt operations make use of the grid.
