Custom grid for master layout

[cocoloco]

Hi! Is there a way to create a custom grid for master layout or it is just what it is? I want to create grids for different scales, and not just regular look window, need one irregular. TY! 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Some options to consider. 1) Customization within the user interface of the window dialogue. 2) Use a Curtain Wall as a window to create a custom grid. 3) GDL script editing of an existing window in the library. 4) CI tools window builder (This is what I would typically use)

I think Cocoloco may be talking about the grid in the master layouts used to automatically arrange drawings as you place them?

I don't know any other settings other than these, but it just seems to be a simple grid and not very customisable.

And layouts don't have scales, it is the drawings you place that have the scale.

Would you mind to share printscreen please? I thought it would be much easier, its just lines in layout to separate new views? Feeling discouraged 😒

Oh yes this! I actually like how archicad has there in that setting illustration as you have the one big grid with small around it, but then I clicked on it and it looks just all small. So I thought about customizing the grid so I am able to add a lil larger scale per needs. 

Not a big deal if its not possible but bummer a bit

Haha I was wondering that it must be very special grid with all the whistles & bells tools 😂
