Grid Display

Quick question

Is it possible to turn off Grid Display globally instead of doing it in each view?

Thanks

Hi,
I've never notice this. But sometime it's automatically off in certain views.
Do you consider creating a template file with grid off for all ?

Cheers,

click View-Grid Display.

Is that what you mean?

If you have your grids on their own layer you can fairly quickly edit the layer's visibility on the left side of the layer settings box cmd/ctrl+L.

If you are talking about just section or elevation views, you can select all these markers and as grid visibility is a common parameter open the settings box crtl/cmd+T and on the bottom tab uncheck that it is visible.

If you want this as a permanent change then don't forget to redefine the appropriate views.

I think he means the Construction Grid.
Yes, there is such a thing that the Construction Grid Settings can be unique for each Viewpoint.
So you can have Construction Grid Settings in a Setting different from those on the Floor Plan.
You can even have different Construction Grid Settings for each individual Section.
At least this is how it worked the last time I checked.
Sorry, you will have to set them one by one.

I got it fixed for the moment, I have just changed the grid color to match my background color. It seems that that is the only way to do it.

Turn its layer off in the associated layer combos. The only way for the plans.
Make sure that the grid dimensions are on the same layer.

If you don't want to do that, and need them off only in the S/E, select all the S/E (NOT the views, the actual viewpoints) and switch it off.
