hi

I think this type of grid would be a nice option for the user to choose from. Already there are options for solid, dotted, and dashed.

#create a grille on direction of 3View 
#if the grid is viewTop or viewBottom the grid is colored in blue
#if the grid is viewFront or viewRear the grid is colored in green
#if the grid is viewRight or viewLeft the grid is colored in red
#other direction the grid is colored in black
