What is Grid Dimensions/网格标注?

Grid Dimensions/网格标注, developed by Shuimeng, adds scale markings to the ground grid in the Blender viewport. With the markings in place, you can view the scale of the current scene directly in the 3D view.

The 1.1.2 release focuses on the annotation display. The algorithm was adjusted to reduce occlusion for distant labels while keeping nearby labels visible, and annotation display in camera view was optimized. It also fixes an issue where the enabled state was incorrect after restarting Blender, and adds a Chinese translation.

It runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. On the Blender extensions site it has been downloaded more than 24,000 times, and a Discord community is available through the developer.
