• 3D Grid: Turns the grid in the Canvas on and off. The 3D grid helps you stay oriented
and can be used to guide the placement of objects in your project. The 3D grid only
appears when you are in a 3D workspace.
• 3D Scene Icons: Turns the display of the cameras and lights in the Canvas on or off. The
scene icons appear in the Canvas as yellow wireframe icons. Lights appear with red
(X), green (Y), and blue (Z) adjust 3D handles that let you transform and rotate the light
object. The handles are still displayed when the 3D Scene Icons command is turned
off. For more information on the 3D scene icons, see
3D Scene Icons .

• Correct for Aspect Ratio: Applies an artificial distortion of the Canvas in projects with
nonsquare pixels. When the setting is on, the computer monitor simulates what a TV
monitor displays. When the setting is off, projects with nonsquare pixels appear
stretched. This is because computer monitors have square pixels. This setting does not
modify the actual output of the project.
