How to remove "display grids" from solid fills?

Anonymous

This is an issue that has been frustrating me immensely. Currently using Archicad 19.

When I draft with solid fills, in all my views they show up with a display grid. That is, they have a grid of lines that is scaled based on my screen display. When I zoom in and out, this grid remains the same size relative to screen.

Does anyone know how to turn this off? This has become an increasingly aggravating feature both for me while I'm drafting, and for other members of my office viewing drawings on my screen. Sometimes I get confused by the lines and think they are leftover construction lines, which makes the drawings difficult to revise. My principals will glance at my screen and see the lines, and assume they are an actual grid drawn arbitrarily.

This may seem minor but it has caused so much confusion and wasted time in my office.
