• X Segments defines how many cells you will get on the X-axis.
• Y Segments defines how many cells you will get on the Y-axis.
• X Step defines cell's width.
• Y Step defines cell's height.

• isCentered Centers the grid to the centre of the game object

How to set it up via Code

You have a bunch of properties you can tweak to control the grid.

using UnityEngine;

public class GridMeshManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Material gridMat;
    private GridMesh _gridMesh;

    private void Awake() 
    {
        // Get GridMesh component
        _gridMesh = GetComponent<GridMesh>();
        
        // How many cell you will get on the X axis
        _gridMesh.xSegments = 8;
        
        // How many cell you will get on the Y axis
        _gridMesh.ySegments = 16;
        
        // Cell width
        _gridMesh.xStep = 1.0f;
        
        // Cell height
        _gridMesh.yStep = 0.5f;
        
        // Sets a material. By default it's magenta
        _gridMesh.material = gridMat;
        
        // Centers the grid to the game object
        _gridMesh.isCentered = true;
    }
}
