GRID : Some not displaying

Johann_P

Firstly, thanks to all taking the time to help on this forum. It is greatly appreciated.

And for my next question:

I have grids showing on plan and elevation.

When I duplicate Grid B, it shows perfectly on both plan and elevation.
But when I rename it to "A", or "Test" it disappears from the elevation.

When I rename it back to "B" it reappears on the elevation.

Any idea why this happens?

For Elevations and Sections you can filter Grids by name.
See if that is the problem

Thanks, that was the problem.

For those, like me, who needs about 10min just to find the "Elevations Settings"

Right click in the particulate elevation view.

Sorry about that, two other tricks you might find useful.
- Select All the Elevations in plan, right click and select settings, and edit them at the same time. Same for sections.
- To select all of the same types go to a view were all are shown (usually plan or 3D) select the tool and then use CTR+A or CMD+A to select all of them. For example, to select all section markers go to floor plan, select the Section Marker Icon and use CTRL(CMD)+A.

You can also select all Elevations in the Project Map, right-click and access the Elevation Settings Dialog.
With this method, your Elevation Markers do not need to be visible for you to be able to select them.
