sliders for input numerical values

Hi Will, yeah that clearly shows the problem there, that the grid becomes different just depending on what your current zoom level is.

That means that you can't easily immediately know what you are looking at when you see a grid cell on the screen - you also have to check out some other piece of UI in addition to the grid to know what size you are dealing with, kind of make an adjustment in your head to apply the changing value to what you see...

Meanwhile if the grid stays fixed in size like how MoI currently works, then you always know what you are looking at - if you set the grid to be 1 unit per cell, when you see a cell you know for sure it is a 1 unit cell.

Also it looks like the view that you are showing there is an orthographic view, with no perspective applied, is that true?

Also what happens in a split view where 4 viewports are visible each of which is at a different level of zoom, do you have 4 different sizes of grids to deal with, with 4 values being displayed for the grid size?
