Grid tool and section marker display in section windows

Not applicable
I have been playing with some of the new feature in 10 and have a few questions that I have not been able to figure out. It appears that the view of the grid lines in the sect/elev window is controled individually within the setting dialog for each sect/elev window. This however is confusing, since some of these controls are adjusted by selecting the grid lines and using the grid line settings. Does anyone know of a way to make changes globally to all (or selected) sect/elev windows. I am having trouble figuring out how the grid lines is placed vertically relative to the position of the model. Without making any changes to the default setting the gird lines were placed 50 - 100' below my zero elevation of story one.

In addition I have tried to find the control which will allow me to see my section markers in the sect/elev window but have been unsuccessful. A search of the help menu and the manual has not helped. I recall that this was supposedly implemented in 10 and am excited about the feature. Thanks for any help you can provide.

when the grid tool is not shown correctly on my section, I select it, cut it, paste it and place it wherever i want. It doesn't affect the grid on the plan. I know it shouldn't be done this way, but it's the quickest for me..

Using this old threat to avoid creating a new one.

There is something weird happening with my grid lines. They are not show in the sections when the name (in this case letters) is bigger than H.
I.e. I, J, K, L... don't appear in sections.

Any idea of what is going on?

Working with AC16.

SOLVED:
In Section Setting/Grid Tool/Show Grid Element by Name and be sure you have "All" checked.
