The grid resolution divisor indicates what division of the units is used as the snap grid resolution. For example, 8 would indicate 1/8 of a unit.
The grid intervals specify the number of grid resolution units between each light (minor) or bold (major) display grid tick. For example {"inch", 8, 2, 4} would specify a grid with light ticks every 1/4 inch and a bold tick every 1/2 inch.
