I have by trial and error found that Grid elements only shows / updates on sections/elevations which is set to Autorebuild. 
The grid elements must also be placed on a layer which is visible (not hiddden) and not locked (when update is performed).
When all is properly set up (and updated/displayed) the sections/elevations can be set (back) to manual-rebuild. If grid elements are later changed, you have to set sections/elevation back to Autorebuild to have the grid element regenerated.
In a manual-rebuild section (or elevation) a "Rebuild from model" will not update grid elements. To me this is a bug. Graphisoft, - please fix.

Did these problems also happen in AC 10 as well? Reason I ask is that I am working on a AC 10 project which has 2d Grid Lines but as the Project is moving on I want the Sections to show the Grid and so I was considering replacing the 2d Grid with a Grid Tool Grid if you know what I mean. 
One other question - in the Grid Tool object there is a parameter to set the "Length" under 3d Geometry I think they mean height in fact but no matter what I try to set it to the top most point of the Grid Line in the Section window is always 6.0m above the FFL. Is there anyway of getting some control of this?
TIA
