Grid Lines in Reflected Ceiling Plan(3D doc)

I'm currently working on a reflected ceiling plan and facing an issue. When I select "Reflected Ceiling" in the 3D document settings, the grid elements disappear. Even if I set the grid height in the 3D view to the same level as the clipping plane, it doesn't solve the problem. I've attached relevant screenshots of the settings windows for reference. Could you kindly share any insights or steps on how to make the grid visible in the reflected ceiling plan of the 3D document? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi bettybetty,

 

Try to set your grid elevation to a value > 1200 (your cutting plane elevation) + 1200 (the offset you set in the cutting plane options).

ArchiCad 3.43 to 28
MacOS Monterey

Dear Bruno,
Thank you so much! I've successfully made the grid visible now. However, I've noticed that the grid only appears below the model. When I export the file as a DWG, the grid lines turn into incomplete broken lines. I've already tried adjusting the display order of the grid in the 3D document window, but it didn't work. Do you have any suggestions on how to place the grid on the top - most layer?
Best regards
