Grid Types To edit the grid, simply double-click on its entry, or select its entry and click the button. As with the schematic, you can also use the keystroke shortcut combination of “vu” to change the units. You can use the command: “Toggle Units” found in the View pulldown menu as shown below. There are some other ways to change the units of measurement in Altium Designer’s layout tool.

Run the Tools » 3D Body Placement » Orient and Position 3D Body command. To position and align a model to a footprint: Switch to 3D Layout Mode (3 shortcut).

The current Snap Grid and workspace locations are displayed on the Status bar, and also in the Heads-Up display (Shift+H to toggle on/off). Select View » Toggle Units (or press the Q shortcut) to switch the workspace units between imperial and metric.
