Fusion 360 Questions: Hide Grid & Change Lighting (for Mac)

For Mac Version Fusion 360:

How does one hide the Fusion 360 grid for a nice snapshot or view without the grid showing (like in 123D Design)???

And how does one change the lighting in a Fusion 360 model (not rendered) in modeling mode???

Thanks, Bill Dresselhaus

To remove the layout grid display:

There isn't a direct lighting control outside of Render, but you may find enough variety by changing environments:

I am attempting to hide the grid also. The "Layout grid" check box is grayed out so I cannot uncheck it.

Hi @mark177.news

 

Make sure you are not in a sketch or a tool, "grid" is greyed out when you are editing a sketch or using some tools.

 

If you want to hide the sketch grid, check the sketch palette. There is a grid option there as well.

 

Good luck!

Weird. My control for the grid is both disabled and unchecked, yet my grid is on:

My grid is also still visible even though it shows that its off.  Is this a bug?  It wasn't showing up a few moments ago, and now it just wont disappear no matter what I do with the settings.  I guess I'll try rebooting the program.

Ah... right... Autumn already answered my question... I had been in a sketch still and switched to CAM

 

Correction again --- I am out of sketch mode and yet the grid is still visible even when the grid is unchecked in "grid and snap" settings.
