      When I create a grid from the Sandbox "From Scratch," the grid doesn't show any diagonals, and the Smoove tool therefore does nothing -- it doesn't even change the cursor; it remains an arrow.

      I've changed my units to meters for this job -- could that have anything to do with it? I can't imagine that's the reason. Oh, I should point out that this is the first time I'm trying the Sandbox, so I'm also not sure if I should have set some Preferences to give me those diagonals. However, the Help information doesn't say that, it implies that the diagonals are always there. In fact, they are even on the grid icon on the "From Scratch" button. It would seem that they should simply appear. Anyone have any idea what's going on with my sandbox?

      Thanks,

      Gigi

        So sorry, James, I wanted to come back to thank you for your answer. Instead, I went straight over to SU to try it out, and you were entirely correct and I was able to make my sloped site, of course, but instead of thanking you I did the work and haven't come up for air until now. I swear, I start playing with SU from the moment I get up, and I fall asleep next to it on the couch. I'm an addict. And that's the only excuse I can offer for my apparent lack of social skills. I do THANK YOU, however!

        Learning new stuff all the time! Woohoo!
