Issues with overlapping column grids in elevation - AC18

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

Long time reader, first time caller. I'm having an issue with overlapping column grids in some of my elevation views - for example the North Elevation has the column ID bubbles overlapping, but everything shows up fine on the South Elevation.

Is there a way to allow for the grid element to stagger differently in each view? Or do I just have to bite the bullet and make a separate grid for one of the views (which I don't really want to do).

I've posted images of what I'm talking about.

Thanks in advance - and for all the headaches saved reading this forum for the 3 years I've been using ArchiCAD.

Did you check that you have the stagger setting the same for each view?

I did not - we are still relatively new to using ArchiCAD 18 to its fullest potential (before we were using it as 2d Drafting for the most part).

I fixed it by turning on auto stagger for each view. Thanks for the help!
