Major Lines Every nth
The grid contains major interval lines that stand out from the others by their darker color. With this
option you can choose how often these interval lines should occur.
Dynamic Grid
If the Grid Spacing of the world grid is too large in relation to the object, this
can result in jumps when moving it or its elements. In such cases use a lower
Grid Spacing value.
With this option you always get an optimal grid width on the screen, independently of the chosen
grid spacing. This applies to the 2D viewports only. Use the drop-down list to choose the factors for
the dynamic grid.
If you select None, the grid is not dynamic and the grid spacing (with its default value of 100) remains
constant, no matter how much you zoom. But if you select, say, 1...10, the grid is adjusted in steps of
10 as you zoom. If you zoom in and the spacing becomes too wide for the view, CINEMA 4D switches
automatically to a grid spacing of 10. If you zoom in nearer still, it is changed to 1. If you zoom out
from the default grid and the grid width of 100 becomes too dense for clarity, it is rst switched to
a grid spacing of 1000 and then higher still as necessary should you zoom out further. There are no
restrictions up or down.
Selecting 1...5...10 means that grid widths of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 etc. can be achieved, whereas
selecting 1...2...5...10 means that values such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and so on, are
possible.
