Phantom Grid Lines

Gerald Hoffman

I have never had this before. As you see there are 3 extra grid lines in the North Elevation that do not show up in the South Elevation or Sections that run the same way. Even though the Grid layer is unlocked these 3 extra Grid lines seem to be locked and all settings are greyed out. The setting indicate they are on the same layer as the rest of the Grid lines.

I have tried drawing a new North Elevation with the Elevation tool and they still show up. If I use a Section tool to create the elevation they are not there. I can do this but this is not the ideal solution.

Has anyone had this problem before and were you able to fix it?

Thanks,
Gerald Hoffman

A correction to the above post. The Elevation drawn with the Section tool does now have the extra phantom Grid Lines. This is weird.

Disregard my request for help. I have solved the problem.

As it turns out I had a module of a cottage placed on the site which also had Grid Lines. These are showing up in the Elevation even though the Module is on a hidden layer. I'm not sure why that would be but I just changed my North Elevation to a limited depth and they disappeared.

Maybe this should be left up in case anyone else had this happen. Up to the administrator.

Cheers,

can you use the Goodie called "Intersections in Layer Combinations" to sort out the problem?
