o   Y: Depth Factor relationship between vp0 and vp3

o   Closer to 0: Grid lines terminate closer to the observation point (vp0)

o   Closer to 1: Grid lines terminate closer to the vanishing points

·      Grid/Assist Color Pickers: Color/Alpha used for grid/assists. Adjust for clarity

·      Ceiling: Mirrors Two Point Perspective grid based on vp0

Use the A S or ; ' keys to toggle between the different snap targets.

o   Grid Icon: If toggled, this will auto-generate/update a grid if one doesn’t exist
