With an image in place. Open in Gimp by: right click in paths dialogue, select Import path, find the svg file, open it, make it visible. Since it is a path it shows up over any layer, can be scaled to any size, only temporary to aid construction.

Attached to play with, remember to unzip it.

edit: had to look it up but Ofnuts has a plug-in to generate various grids as paths. The iso is equivalent to 'triangles' with a vertical orientation.

Ohhh this is what I was looking for! 

I even found a video explaining how to create isometric grids in Gimp, but this plugin definitely does exactly what I wanted and very easily (actually it became easy after Rich2005's tip "The iso is equivalent to 'triangles' with the vertical orientation").

Thanks a lot guys!
