I would like to know this also... there are 3 options for snap to grid... big grid, small grid and no grid... I'd like to know particularly the size of one square of the big grid in terms of comparison to Blender units?



Edit: From a search of the forums I found the scale is in inches. There's the answer.

When you press B twice after first entering entity mode, it snaps in 100 units. 1 Press I believe is 10, and with no press, or "free" mode, it's just 1, I think. And yes, I think it is inches, as I recall 100 units being explained as approximately 8 feet (96 inches, close enough).

Thanks for the info Jerry. Maybe the sizes have changed to metric... I tried resizing the default cube in blender to 100*100 and that seems to be about the right size for each square in the large grid.. When I tried a cube that was 96*96 it was a bit small and there were gaps between them.

Here is a picture of the 3 - 100*100 cubes I made next to each other in the large snap to grid... the texture is seamless. Oddly the 100*100 stock slabclean blocks found in fixtures leave a small gap between them on large snap to grid. I'm confused.

I had experimented this today. It sound like it is leaving some space for you place column, between them. Not sure.

LOL, sorry, I didn't state that clearly, so I think you misunderstood me. (I was heading out the door to leave for work and didn't really proofread what I wrote! I am home now.) I didn't mean to say that 100 units WAS 96 inches, I meant that 8ft was 96 inches! LOL. 100 units IS 100 inches. For scaling purposes, approximately 8 ft is close enough for government work, or, like Mike said, 8'4". As for the slab you were referring to, it's actual dimensions are 94.488 X 94.495 X 18.898, so they aren't going to snap together at all without a little resizing. No metric system going on here!
