Grid disappeared

Hello, I searched the knowledge base and forums, but couldn’t seem to come across this issue.

I am working on making an outdoor layout, and I noticed that my grid (from all views) has vanished.

I like using the grid so that I can size everything according to scale (1 square = 1 square foot)

Anyway, any thoughts on this would be GREATLY appreciated!

go to the header of your 3d window select view->view properties…
all of the grid options are there

there are two kinds of grids

the perspective grid [ground plane, limited in size], and the cad-style view grid [I don’t belive it has a better name]

if perspective mode is turned on [hit numpad 5 in the 3d view to toggle it], or you are not in one of the major views [left/top/front/back/bottom/right], then the perspective grid will be shown

so to get your cad-style grid back, go to the top view [for example, you could go to the side or front…], then if it isn’t there hit numpad 5

Thanks, I wasn’t bright enough to realize that since my plane runs on top of the base grid, when I have wireframe mode OFF, my grid was being covered up.

Much appreciated!
