> Grid Step really isn't necessary until you start making doors and elevators.... what it does is allows you to make a cleave a certain size.. for example: if you wanted to put in a 6x6 door you would switch the grid step to .6, check the box labeled "Snap to Grid" and cleave... you'll notice JED will move your cleave line over a bit..... it'll make sure you cleave a distance of .6....
