Worksheets and Gridlines

Is there anyway to have the gridlines show up in a worksheet like the elevation and section markers do?

I have tried this and if I draw a rectangular Worksheet boundary and place a Worksheet Marker (in either the Floor Plan Viewpoint or a Section/Elevation Viewpoint) the Worksheet will show the Grids (not actually the Grids but Lines and Texts generated from the Grid Elements).

Hi laszlonagy,

As you can see by the attached screenshots, I get the section markers (including the marker heads and text) but on the Gridline lines (no bubble, no text).

We use work arounds but it would be nice if the Gridlines behaved the same.

Thanks

The Worksheet Viewpoint will display only that portion of the model that is within the Worksheet Marker's Boundary polygon, I think this is why you see the parts of Grid Elements that are outside this boundary cut off in the Worksheet Viewpoint.

You would have to increase the size of the Worksheet Marker Boundary Polygon to include also the Grid Element Heads for them to be visible in the Worksheet Viewpoint.
