Crosshatch

Updated on

Also known as "Grid" this tool will overlay ta geometric grid pattern over your image with customizable rows/columns for a variety of on-set compositional needs.

Crosshatch is beneficial for aligning elements of a shot into a grid-like and structured pattern, and can also be used for frame balance/ composure.

Crosshatch - Settings

On

Enable/Disable the Crosshatch. This can also be done on the tool car by activating or deactivating the tool.  It will be Green when active, and Grey when inactive.

Color

Set the line color of the Crosshatch to adjust its visibility.

Opacity

This will adjust how much you can "see through" the grid.

Regions

This setting lets you define the density of the Crosshatch grid for achieving the desired amount of granularity.
You can have 2x2 <to> 9x9 equal portions on the grid.

Crosshatch - Quick Start

‘Add New Tool’ and navigate to Frame > Crosshatch and select to add it to the current page.

Once the Crosshatch is added you can edit the settings by navigating right when ‘Crosshatch’ is highlighted.

The pattern is going to be a 1:1 in sections.  So if you want a 3x3 (rule of thirds) it will give you 3 wide by three high which is 9 equal squares in total.
