The grid Dimensions options are used to establish the boundary coordinates and the number of nodes to be created in the grid model. These settings are available in all program windows where grid models are created.
- Based on Project Dimensions: Choose this option if the grid dimensions are to be taken from the current Grid & Model Dimensions settings.
This is generally a good idea, particularly in projects where multiple models are going to be created and may need to undergo comparison, mathematical, and filtering operations (in which all models must be dimensioned the same).

- Variable: Based on Range of Input Data: Choose this option if the grid dimensions are to be established based on the current data being modeled.
This could be an option for modeling a subset of the entire project or for testing the effect of different node densities without having to reset the entire project's dimensions settings.
- Confirm Dimensions: Check this box if you wish to review the dimensions settings prior to generating the grid model. If activated, the program will display a confirmation window after you've established all of the menu settings and have clicked the Continue button to proceed.
