This dialog is used to create, modify or load 3D display templates containing grid information. This makes it simple to quickly format your display grids to a standard format.

                                                             Once a grid template has been defined, you can select it using the Sheets control bar's context-sensitive menu (top-level Grids folder) and automatically create and configure a grid at the same time.  | 
                                                    
One or more templates can be created here and you can also import and export grid template data.
Once a default grid template has been defined, you can set it as an "Initial state" for 3D windows. This is done using the Tools | Options dialog.
The functions on this panel are very similar to those found on other 3D properties dialog Templates panels and the documentation for these panels applies here also.
