About this asset
A grid for snapping RectTransform objects that lets you build interfaces quickly. There’s no longer any need to enter sizes manually. The asset automatically detects which canvas you’re working with and draws the grid on that canvas. Even if you have multiple canvases in the scene, you won’t get lost. The grid works well in world space, screen space, and camera space. The canvas scale doesn’t matter.
It offers flexible grid settings: set the grid step, subdivisions, and control the grid’s appearance. You can add a reference image that is always on top: add a reference, adjust its transparency and tint. You can also adjust the grid’s origin point.
Change and assign your own hotkeys however you like. The asset supports the native Shortcuts window. Align and distribute objects: the new version adds the ability to align and distribute either along the canvas or relative to the bounds of the selected objects.
