Home Grid
Using the home grid to position houses
Grids are two-dimensional arrays of lines similar to graph paper, except that
you can adjust the spacing and other features of the grid to the needs of your
work.
Grids have these primary uses:
■ As an aid in visualizing space, scale, and distance
■ As a construction plane where you create and align objects in your scene
■ As a reference system for using snap
The home grid is the basic reference system, defined by three fixed planes on
the world coordinate axes. The home grid is visible by default when you start
the software, but can be turned off with an option in the right-click viewport
menu. You can use any view of the home grid as a construction plane or you
can create a
grid object on page 7805 and use that as a construction plane
instead.
