Default Changing grid size

Hi fellow simulators!

I am currently working on a model of a brewery. The storage facility has a high bay warehouse and a rather complex system of conveyors attached to it.

It would make my life easier, if there it were possible to change the grid size from 1 meter (or whatever unit of measurement You use) to 0.25 meter.

Is this possible?

Best regards
Christian

Hi,

V6: the grid size depends on the zoom.

.. 10m, 1m, 0.1m, 0.01m, ..

The reason I wish to change the grid size is that I wish to use the "Snap to grid" option to position the objects in the model on a 0.25m grid.

The grid size seems to be the same regardless of zoom when it comes to the snapping.

Or am I mistaken?

Default Hi. It's depending to your definition or zoom factor.

V6 : After more ZOOMing till finding 0.25 grid size, and then frag drop the object.
flexsim automatically snap to grid.

V5.12 : you set the grid size to 0.25 and then....it is same V6.
