Perspective Grid Menu Settings

Grid Tab

Transform Mode box

Select either 2D (homographic planar projection of the perspective) or 3D (full 3D perspective transformation) mode. Some settings are not available depending on the mode chosen.

Note: Perspective Grids contained in Action setups from a previous release appear in 3D Legacy mode, maintaining the previous grid position.

Invert button

Enable to remove the animated perspective of the object parented to the grid. Available only in 2D mode.

Scale field

Displays the size of the object under the perspective grid. Editable.

Reset button

Click to reset the perspective grid settings (does not reset the active perspective camera settings).

Grid Height field

Displays the height resolution (in Action coordinates) of a 2D perspective grid with Invert enabled. Editable.

Constraint box

Select whether to lock the height or width of the grid when manipulating the grid points (select Lock Both to lock the width and height).

Z Offset field

Displays the distance between the perspective grid and the camera along the Z axis to make a 3D grid larger or smaller while maintaining the visual result. Editable.

Perspective Camera field

Displays the active perspective camera number. Non-editable.

Stereo Camera Perspective box

Select whether to use the left or right camera from a stereo camera rig when working with the perspective grid.

FOV field

Displays the field of view of the active perspective camera. When adjusting the perspective grid, the FOV of the target camera updates automatically (unless Lock is selected in the FOV Adjustments box). Non-editable.

FOV Adjustments box

Select an FOV camera adjustment mode.

Select:	To:
Static	Use all corner keyframes to compute an overall FOV and set the camera to non-animated during tracking of the perspective grid. By using multiple keyframes of corners, this is a better estimate of FOV (for sequences where FOV does not change).
Dynamic	Allow adjustments of the target camera FOV and position during tracking of the perspective grid. Use when the FOV changes over the length of the sequence.
Lock	Lock the camera FOV and position during tracking of the perspective grid.

Display Tab

Magnifier button

Enable to display the magnifier while dragging a corner of the perspective grid rectangle.
