Grid not showing when I open a new scene

adamb11906 — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 02:28:59 GMT

Hi everyone. I know how to make the grid show in the viewport, but I noticed that every time I open a new project, the grid is hidden by default. Not sure why this could be. I can easily turn it back on, but I'd rather avoid having to do that every time I open a new scene. Anyone know a fix?

Thanks for the help!

Maybe turned off in the prefs?
Preferences -> Display -> View -> Grid plane
