Problems making Grid systems in the Essentials ITG

Anonymous

Hi there!
I want to ask if anyone had problems making
the Structural grid in the Essentials ITG,
chapter 2, video 2.
I done all the steps that's in the video
but when I put the grid in the floor plan
I can't see the dimensions that should
be created with the structural grid.

Thanks
Raul

The Dimensions Checkbox must be checked in the Grid System Settings Dialog. If that is done, then the Dimensions may not appear because the layer they are assigned to is hidden. Go to the Layer Settings Dialog and make those layers visible.

Hi Laszlo!
Thank you for the reply, but it still doesn't work.
I'm using a Portuguese ArchiCAD 12.
The checkbox in the grid system settings
is with a checkmark on the dimensions,
and the layer of the dimensions have the name
"Dimensioning - External" and it's turnned on.
Could it be a bug??

thanks

Hi Laszlo!
I'm putting here 3 pictures of the settings.
First picture is from Grid System settings,
Second picture is from the dimensions settings
and the third is the final result of the grid system.

Thanks

Yes, it looks like a bug.
You should report it to your local reseller.
