Using the Grid

It is very important when building a model that your objects are positioned correctly and do not create problems in the simulation by overlapping each other, giving conflicting instructions to the Entities or by allowing Entities to miss them because they are positioned inaccurately.

Turning on LEGION Simulator’s Grid enables you to check the accurate placement of your Spatial Objects, snap them to specific points on the grid and helps avoid problems early on in the project.

When you first show the Grid, its default settings are:
Grid scale (m): 0.1
Minor divisions: 1
Major divisions: 10

To show the Grid:

Click or select View > Show Grid (to hide the Grid, click the icon again).
Click or select View > Show Axes (to hide the Axes, click the icon again)

To snap to the Grid:

To snap to the Grid, click the ‘Snap to Grid’ icon

To change Grid settings

Select Tools > Options > Tools Settings.
Enter a value for the Grid Scale (m) in metres.
Note: Grid scale must be between 0.1 and 100m.

Choose a scale that allows you to check distances or define shapes (snap to grid) at a level of accuracy for the space you are modelling.
Enter a value for the Minor divisions you want the Grid to display.
This value should be a multiple of the Grid Scale.
Enter a value for the Major divisions of the Grid Scale.
This value should also be a multiple of the Grid Scale.
Click the OK button.
