Gridlines on Wrong Design Option Show in Section/Elevation

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.
