I've heard occasionally that it's possible to edit the intervals at which SnapToGrid "snaps".

Is it? How?

It's CTRL-SHIFT-B.

You know, CTRL-SHIFT-B, cause B stands for ... grid ... snap ... uh ... whatever.

You have to have one of your items in edit mode to get the window to pop up.

B stands for "BOOP!", the sound the prim makes when it snaps to the grid. :D

(Ok, so that's just my mnemonic.)

The Grid Options dialog can also produced from the Tools menu. There is a command right above it on the menu I don't hear much mention of, the Shift Object XY To Grid command, with a keystroke of Shift-X. This can be a very useful command; with snap to grid on, and a bunch of objects near a grid intersection that one would like horizontally centered with each other, one can select them all and do a Snap XY and they are all nice and centered.

shift-X is wonderful, I've used it since the moment it was added. Just wish there was a shift-Z to snap to grid in X, Y, and Z too.

And the Grid Unit setting I always use is 0.125 wich works great for building.
