Guides not GridĬlicking the Overlays menu opens the Viewport Overlays menu and a set of context sensitive properties under which grid Scale and Subdivisions can be found sub-sectioned within Guides.

– in ‘free’ perspective and orthogonal, Scale is visible, Subdivision increments beyond the default are not, they are only visible in fixed ortho. Front ( NumPad 1 – looking along the Y axis), Right ( NumPad 3 – looking along the X axis), Top ( NumPad 7 – looking down the Z axis) etc.

Here the options to alter the grids physical appearance in the 3D View, for both ‘free’ and ‘locked’ points of view, are grouped under Guides.ĭesign note: free and locked views largely refers to the manual manipulation of the 3D View in both perspective and orthogonal ( NumPad 5) versus fixed points of view, i.e. The Lines, Scale and Subdivision options formally part of the Display section of the Properties sidebar ( N), are now accessed from the Overlays menu located top-right of the 3D View in Blender.
