Grid tool still broken after all these years

Elevations refresh with grid tool markers in the wrong location. Also, you can not edit the markers after they have been placed. IE turn off a bubble at one end in plan or elevation. Or just move a grid line and it remains in its previous position in the elevations. Only deleting and re-drawing the gridline again will regenerate ONCE in the elevation again.

I really can't believe Graphisoft still gets away with leaving this stuff like this half way functional when releasing a new version of ArchiCAD. Very frustrating.

You have jumped onto one of my pet subjects. New features are a waste of time if only half baked. Worse if they are not put back in the oven.

If I remember correctly, in Elev and Section you can edit the height of the bubbles and the end point, to move a grid so that it updates correctly you should do it in floor plan.

BTW this is a workaround I am not defending GS on this issue.

yeah, when I look at my plan, the grid lines are correctly located. When I look at my sections, they are about 20' away from the building. Rebuilding doesn't help. Only deleting and redrawing them. Weird.

I met my old employer
In the studio last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drew ourselves some grids
Still broken after all these years
