1. Edit the **Origin** of the current grid with [Define points](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-enteringpointprocedure).
2. Edit the grid **Mode**:
  - **Auto**: the grid orientation will be function of the current scene orientation.
  - **X, Y or Z**: the grid normal will be the X, Y or Z axis.
3. Edit the **Main Axis**, that is to say the U axis.
4. Edit the visibility of the **graduations** text.
5. Edit the **grid step in U and V directions**.
6. Edit the number of **subdivisions in U and V directions**.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - This command is not compatible with the default document grid.
> - **Origin**, **Mode** and **Main Axis** cannot be set for Fixed grids. See **Technical Information**.

> [!NOTE]
> ### Technical information
> 
> Grids can have fixed or automatic extents. This resizing is done according to scene orientation and displayed objects.
> 
> Note this behaviour is set when you create the grid and cannot be modified later.
> 
> Consequently, the **origin** point may not be part of the displayed grid.
