Gridlines on Wrong Design Option Show in Section/Elevation

MendoPermaculture — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 00:53:18 GMT

We're having an issue where gridlines in the wrong design option show up in Sections & Elevations. In Plan they only show when their design option is visible, but in Section & Elevation we cannot get them to dissappear.

We tried the different "Section Settings - Grid Tool - Show Grid Elements by Stories & Name" options, to no avail.

Did we find a bug with the new Design Options tool?

Hi,

I am having the same issue. It seems you can turn off the gridline visibility in the section/elevation, but it's an all-or-nothing option.

My current workaround is to simply have multiple elevation/section markers under different design options for a particular stage that only show the grid (or not). For example, we don't show the "gridlines" for the sketch/concept stage, so we make a new elevation marker with the display gridline setting "off."

But for consistency, this should still be the same marker, with Design Options controlling the gridline's visibility.

Maybe it is a bug. And I hope Graphisoft solves this soon.

Is this still bugged? Having the same problems in AC28. It automatically assigns them all to the main model when they're created in elevation or section.
