Grid lines missing!!  

Hi

I have a building with grids lines set out horizontally and vertically, however, some of them have been "accidentally" removed (not sure by whom, but it's not important). When I try to reinsert a grid in place of the missing one, it will not allow me to name the grid bubble as the previous one as it says the number/letter exists and must be unique.

The grid line is not hidden and the others are turned on. I can't figure out what has happened are they deleted or just hidden somewhere? How do I resolve this?

Thanks, Eldon

Do the grid lines show up on other views? They may be on a workset that has been turned off.

Hi and thanks,

I checked another view, and yes they are visible, the missing ones were on an incorrect workset.

I have put them back in the same workset as the others and ensured they are visible in all views, but they are still not appearing in the original view??

I think I need a coffee.

Cheers, Eldon

The next step I'd review is to check if it has been turned off (Element Hide - EH). At the bottom you'll see a little blue light bulb, click on that and if you see it now then select the element/s and click on Unhide Element - EU. Once finished click on the Close button.

 

Yeah, it's been a long monday.

Hi

I checked that, it's very perplexing. They are definitely visible in all other views, except, the floor plan. I've checked

- to see if they are all the same workset - they are

- to see if they are hidden - they aren't

- ensured all worksets are visible - they are

Any other ideas, I am sure I am missing something obvious...

I am in Western Australia - it's the beeginning of a long Tuesday I think :-)

Go to elevation view and make sure the column grid extends all the way up and down

Hi

Okay, problem resolved, the Interiors Dept had created some wall elevations and moved my grid lines in section/elevation in 3D and not 2D, so they were no longer visible in the plan!!

Thanks for your stirling efforts all the same.

Cheers, Eldon

ps coffee time :-)
