3D Grid Parameters

3D Grid Parameters lets you use the parameters of the current working support grid (3D grid) in Generative Shape Design to define another grid in Sketcher.

The 3D Grid Parameters command is available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The 3D grid should be parallel to the current sketch plane.
  • The grid of the current work on support should be a Cartesian grid.

Note: The projection of the 3D grid origin and the origin of the sketch need not align.

Once you activate the 3D Grid Parameters command:

  • The current 3D grid is displayed instead of the sketcher grid.
  • All the visualization properties associated with the 3D grid are maintained. For example, if the 3D grid is furtive, this furtiveness is also available in the Sketcherapp. In this case, you may have to adjust the visualization parameters to view it.
  • Existing sketcher grid parameters are ignored.
  • The grid parameters in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > 3D Modeling Core > Sketcher > Sketcher > Grid remain unchanged.
  • The current 3D grid parameters (primary spacing and graduations values) are used for snapping, if Snap to point is selected.
  • Origin of the sketch remains unchanged if the position of the projection of the center of the 3D grid is not merged with the origin point of the sketch.
  • You can use Set As Current/Set As Not Current from the context menu on the working support features to define the default current support.
