This command creates a grid in the 3D scene and adds it to the document.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> No selection is required to launch the command.

1. Choose the **origin** of the grid with [Define points](https://hexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=Hlp2025x1&title=EnteringPointProcedure).
2. Choose the grid **mode**:
  - **Auto**: the grid orientation will be function of the current scene orientation.
  - **X, Y or Z**: the grid direction will be the X, Y or Z axis.
3. Edit the visibility of the **graduations** texts.
4. Define the **grid step in U and V directions**.
5. Define the number of **subdivisions in U and V directions**.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> The **origin** point is the origin of the U and V axes, but as the grid is resized according to the visible objects, the origin may not be displayed.
