How do I display H-V grid in doors on plan (2D)

Hi all.

How do I display the H-V Grids on plan for doors or even windows?

I need them to look like storefronts/curtainwalls, but to redo all the doors as curtain walls, is not an option.

I need them to display more detail basically...

Could you use the Projected floor plan display? Doors will not show with arcs though... In your situation though, it would be better to be using Divided Frame rather than H-V Grid since it looks like you are intending to have actual frames, not just beads. This will show in plan. It is not available to all doors and windows, but it is for that door in 22 and 28 so I assume 27 too.

Thank you!!!

The divided frame was the answer. I am never using H-V grid again! LOL
