How works Meta grid in Iso grid ...

Post by Husky » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:00 am

Playing around with 3.0.8 ....... until my next crash :roll:

Isometric grid .................... sweet!!!! But how can I get a fitting Metagrid?
Grid spacing should be 5x5
Meta grid spacing should be 10x10
Normal grid view = perfect!
Iso grid view = ????
The Meta grid is not matching the simple grid and the angle are .... different?

Questions about this:
How do I get the same pattern also in Isometric grid and why are the angles different?

This is likely a bug when setting up a static grid and then switching to an isometric grid.
The dialog Edit - Drawing Preferences - General - Grid gives more insight into how the isometric grid works.
