Inset View
When you move an object, an Inset view appears in the lower-right corner of the Canvas,
showing the scene from a different camera’s point of view. If you are currently viewing
the scene through the active camera, the Inset view shows the Perspective camera’s point
of view. If you are currently viewing the scene through any other camera, the Inset view
shows the active camera. Use the Inset view to see the results of changes that you make
in orthogonal views.
Inset view
Use Motion Preferences to set the Inset view’s size and when it appears in the Canvas.

3D Grid
The 3D grid shows the ground plane of the 3D world. The ground plane is, as the name
states, a plane attached to the “ground” of the scene, where Y equals 0. The ground plane
represents the dividing line between “up” and “down,” that is, between positive Y values
and negative Y values. It is centered on 0, 0, 0.
