Grid Lines - How do I turn off auto staggering?

Gus

In section and elevation my grid-lines are staggering automatically and there is no reason for them to be staggered. It looks pretty stupid having a staggered line when there is no reason for it. Does anyone know how to turn off auto-staggering of grid-lines in ArchiCAD 19?

In the Grid System Settings Dialog, go to the Grid Elements panel and uncheck the "Auto-stagger Grid Markers if they overlap" checkbox before placement.

Thanks again Laszlo,
I finally did find another way of doing this a few minutes ago.
In the Navigator Project Map, I selected all my sections, then clicked on "Settings" then went down to the "Grid Tool" and unchecked the box next to "Auto-stagger Grid Markers if they overlap.

It's funny that they were staggering even though they did not overlap. Strange. Turning off the auto-staggering this way did work though. So that's good for now. I don't know what I would do if they really were overlapping. Maybe just change the length of one of them.
