Dimensions randomly showing up in sections

xiilo — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 08:53:50 GMT

I'm having an issue with unwanted dimensions showing up in my section views. I can't select the dimension itself and delete it, but I can select the dimension text and delete them that way, but they always come back when I switch to another tab and come back to the section view.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe those are grid dimensions.

You can turn that option off here

Hi!

Yes the grids seems to be cause of the problem that I'm having, but I can't seem to find the grid tool tab on where I can turn it off. This project is on AC24.

Last time I encountered this iirc turning the dims off in the grid didn't remove them from the sections & elevations and it was necessary to manually delete them. Depending on the nature of the grid there may be several dimensions overlaid which need deleted one at a time e.g. you delete a dimension but it then reappears after a rebuild until you have deleted them all.

It's in the same location as it is in 25.

Check in the work environment if the Grid tool is turned on in the Section Tool
