Archicad 18 - Grid System could not display in Elevation

In archicad 18, the grid built by the Grid System could not display in Elevation. However the grid built by the Toolbox could be display in Elevation. Is it a bug?

ps. I have checked the setting for the grid element. The grid made by Grid System and Toolbox are the same.


For clearly show the problem, the self-explain picture are attached for your reference.

You can also check the Grid Element settings in the Elevation since you can configure them to not show them or show only some of them.

Also if the Elevation is not perpendicular to the grid in floor plan either the grid or elevation is slightly rotated then they will not who in that elevation.

Thank you for your reply. The Grid Element settings in the Elevation is supposed to be fine for the Grid Element could be shown.

As for the perpendicular issue, double check the Grid System, and confirm those Grid Element are vertical to the elevation view.

ps. I even try to use the Pick Up Parameter of "Grid Element made by Toolbox",and Inject into "Grid Eleent made by Grid System". Which still not solve the problem. Therefore, I guess the problem are related to the Grid System.

There must be a mistake somewhere. I just created a grid using the system and it shows in elevation. You can verify also the Renovation and Layer settings for the Elevation.
