GRID MARKER

HOW DO I MAKE THESE SHOW IN SECTION Views?
working in AC 18/19 on one project, can't seem to get the markers to show in section/elevation...where did I go wrong?

Is the layer on that the grid markers are on? If you go into the default settings for the grid elements, and open up the "Section/Elevation" drop-down, you have "Markers" checked?

Is there a 'work around' where I can go in and set them up in the Section, am under the gun to get this out....
One last thing to check. Select the grid markers in the plan view, open them, and make sure that "3D view">"display in 3D view" is checked.

If that's already checked, then you may have to draw the grids in manually. (I like a line with a big round arrow head.)

THANK YOU, DID THAT, WORKS FOR NOW!

I think I read somewhere that the grid line has to intersect the cutting plane (elevation or Section) to appear in the view.

That is true but since Elevations and Sections are generated form the 3D View hiding them in 3D can cause this bug.
