Hexagonal grid

Is it possible to have a skewed grid in Archicad? Like a Frank Lloyd Wright hexagonal grid?

You can have a rotated grid. Not sure about a "Hexagonal" grid...

No hexagonal grid or a grid where the two axes are not at 90 degrees.
If I had this situation I would probably write a GDL Object to achieve that.

Or set out a series of lines, then lock them (or put them on a locked layer). The cursor will respond to the lines' intersections.
