Well, it's hard to remember what XYZ mean, is it screen relative, or relative to global coordinates? And sometimes, when picking, it's hard to remember which direction is which. Maybe there is some way you can display 'placeholders' to show how the grid is being laid out as we pick out the unit cell size?
