!Restored: Probelms with the Grid Tool

[Anonymous]

Just a heads up to everyone. So far I know of two rather big problems with the grid tool in AC11 that will cause the program to crash in a section and elevation window.
1. If the grid elements are locked or are on a locked layer when opening a section or elevation Archicad will crash
2. If you place a section marker in an elevation or section window then attempt to modify it, archicad will crash.
From what I understand Graphisoft is aware of these issues and they are working on it, but for now the only solution is to remove the grid tool from your project.

Scott you need to open your WE and check each box to enable the tool.

Scott:
You can also enable the Grid tool panel in the Section and Elevation tools.

P.S.
I think Rod's post shows settings for the Info box... you maybe wanted the Dialog box?

Stress Co & Rod,
Thank you so much for the clarification. Visibility of certain Tool Dialog Box items were limited in the WE as you pointed out. I guess AC can get in a funky state every so often, kind of what I'm in today. Perhaps a mountain bike ride would be helpful.
