This is the '''"Snap to Grid"''' button:[[Image:Snap_To_Grid.jpg]] This button toggles grid snapping on and off.  This makes sure that when you move an object around the cell, it snaps at unit intervals of 256, 128, 64, or whatever else you specify.  We will leave Grid Snapping on for the remainder of this tutorial. You will need to change your snap settings from time to time, depending on what pieces you are using.  The hotkey for this button is "'''Q'''".  Take a moment now to ensure the button is depressed and snapping is active.

We will now set the grid settings. Right-click on the render window to bring up the options, then click Render Window Properties. The next step is to click the Movement tab. For most of this tutorial, a 256 grid snap should be fine.  There may be times when you need to drop the grid snap down to make certain pieces fit.

<blockquote>The GECK uses a proprietary units system which is neither metric or U.S.  This units system snaps cleanly at units of eight.  When dealing with snapping, a good rule of thumb is to work at the largest snap setting available.  Most Fallout 3 kits work well with a snap setting of 128 units.</blockquote>
