Click the grid to toggle it
on and off. To use the keyboard shortcut to toggle the grid, press G.
The grid displays the units of your scene. The default
is set up as Max Units where one unit equals 1 inch. Each
grid division is 10 units. The best approach is to choose
a grid spacing that matches your unit of measurement.
For example, if you are using centimeters, make one grid
square equal 1 centimeter. To access the Grid dialog box,
choose Customize ??” Grid and Snap Settings, and click the
Home Grid tab as shown here.
Changing Viewport Views
As you saw earlier, the viewports are flexible and can be changed to different displays by
right-clicking on the viewport name and choosing the new viewport from the menu
(Figure 3.43).
This lets you change which view you have in a viewport. You can also use keyboard
shortcuts to access any of the viewports. In an active viewport, press the hotkey for the
desired view. Hot keys are listed in this table:
H O T K E Y V I E W
T Top
B Bottom
F Front
L Left
C Camera
P Perspective
U User or Axonometric??”a 3D view without perspective
These keys are extremely helpful when one viewport is maximized and you need to
access different views quickly.
