Grid Tool Not Working

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,
Our office has been using the add-on grid tool and it has been working fine through out the office. I have one computer where the grid looks like an "element" rather than an object. I have even opened our template which works on everybody's computer except for one individual computer. Any ideas?
I have:
-Updated libraries
-Updated ArchiCAD 11
-Checked the Add-Ons

....... Tried everything but reinstalled AC-11.
HELP PLEASE!
Thx,

I just spoke with Andrew, and it sounds like the Groups are suspended on the one machine.

If the Grid Elements are not Grouped, or Groups are suspended, only the Grid Element Settings dialog will open when you Ctrl+T. When Grid Elements are Grouped, and Groups are enabled, the Grid System Settings dialog will open.

UPDATE: It looks like it was a problem with the Work Environment of the one computer. The Grid Element Settings dialog was not configured correctly, and the majority of settings were missing from the dialog box which was causing confusion.
