Weird orientation when creating objects

Hi, I am working on a scene with multiple objects (I'm still at the blocking phase) but something odd is happening, whenever i create an object, it's oriented towards an odd direction, and always that direction, no matter the camera orientation. And i don't know how to revert the creation axys to the default one. As you can see in the picture, is a weird grid that appears for creating any object that is oriented in a weird diagonal way. And its super annoying. All the objects in the scene are oriented properly but at some point during the blocking it started to behave weird. Maybe it's something that i missclicked or activated without knowing,
 Trying to create a box, as you can see, it's oriented to that orange thing that appears, all the time. Little help?Trying to create a box, as you can see, it's oriented to that orange thing that appears, all the time. Little help?

Hi,

 

This yellow rectangle is a custom grid you can create from the Helpers section of the Create panel.

It helps you create objects parallel to a different grid than the home grid.

 

Now you have two solutions:

1- Simply delete that yellow grid

2- Select this yellow grid, right click and choose Activate HomeGrid

I would say check the snaps, and /or reset xform, or finally export your model as obj and re=import that into a new scene 🙂
