Grids, Grids, Grids

Hi,

First off, thanks to all that have replied to my other posts !!!

Okay, currently my GRID is setup as follows:

Preferences > Linear > Foot
Display >
Length and Width 12
Grid Lines every 1
Subdivisions every 12
Axes BLACK
Grid Lines RED
Subdivisions YELLOW

The documentation is really SPARSE on Grids ... which is really weird cause I think they are extremely important.

Anybody out there have a better explanation of the parameters above ??? What I believe that the above is giving me is 12 foot sections that are shown with red and 1 foot subdivisions that are shown with yellow. ???

I just know that when my screen starts they are all pretty much RED in the viewports which makes me wonder what use the grid really is and that I probably have it all whacked up.

What are others out there doing as far as their grid setups go ???? and why and how etc. etc. Weird it's not really covered anywhere and its the basis for most object creation :o)

Cheers,

Don.
