WHEN IS GRID TOOL COMING???

Can anybody shed light on when the AC 11 grid tool will be available!!!

My team beta tested AC 11 and throughout the beta test the grid tool was available, albeit just as flawed as it was in 10. Then suddenly the tool was taken away from us when the final release came out. We were urged to used AC 11 on 'real' projects by graphisoft and so we did. We have real clients and we are working on a real $100m hotel and we need our grid tool back, asap.

*We have tried loading the RC1 grid tool but it doesn't get read by the final release.

No -- you can also set your parameters prior to placing the object.

But how? I am setting Grid Element to my liking but Grid System Tool does not recognize it and uses some other default settings!?
Thanks,

(Note to anyone trying this tool for the first time: you must add it to your work environment in several places. Add to the toolbox, then for Tool Settings Dialog Boxes, enable all panels for the grid tool itself, and then in the Section and Elevation tools, enable the Grid Tool panel.)
...and what happend to the "Grid System" menu?

That was not my experience with AC10 -- in AC11, however, I can't seem to find the Grid System...

It is under Design menu. I had it working in AC10 but not AC11?

If grid tool is in your Add-on folder it must be loaded, you have to look for it in your Work Environment to make it visible. I whish some one could help us to show the marker in Grid System Setting.

Yes, I know this -- and I've adjusted my WE accordingly -- the "Grid System" menu is nowhere to be found.
