Revit :: How To Locate Lay-in Ceiling Grid With Grid Intersection In Center Of Room

Feb 16, 2012

Revit has a propensity to locate a lay-in ceiling grid with a grid intersection in the center of the room. You can use the alignment tool to align the grid with a wall. But I see no way to center a tile in a room. This is often a necessity in a narrow room, to keep the lights centered. Also, installers, when not given specific instructions to the contrary, will often locate the ceiling grid to minimize narrow tiles at the wall. We need more control over the position of the grid.

Revit :: Exporting Ceiling Grid To DWG

Oct 25, 2011

Is there a setting to export the grid lines of ACT ceiling in a 3D view to DWG?
 
I don't know if there is because I can't even get the grid lines to show in a 3d view. Right now the view shows the ACT ceiling as a simple geometric shape.

Revit :: How To Fade Ceiling Grid For Plotting

Oct 9, 2013

I'm using Revit 2014 & have not been able to fade the ceiling grid lines so they don't plot out so heavy on my dwgs. I've tried overriding graphics of these grids with half tone which didn't work then I tried transparency & that did not work. They either stay on or turn right off!

AutoCAD Architecture :: Ceiling Grid Visibility

Mar 23, 2010

I'm using AutoCAD 2008 and trying to make a smart ceiling grid using the tools palette. The tool runs fine, however my grid doesn't show up in my drawing. I checked all my layers and they're fine. I think my ceiling grid visibility display is turned off.

Any command to turn it on? Checked the product, it gives me options to turn it on/off when it's already visible in a view, but this doesn't work since I can't see it at all.

I tried inserting a ceiling grid, command started fine, usual prompts....enter & no grid.

I switched to the work tab, that has  a 3-d view and there is the grid.  I cannot find what I did alter its visibility in model space.

AutoCad :: Add Ceiling Grid To Rooms Using Hatch

Feb 13, 2013

I want to add a ceiling grid to my rooms. I am using a hatch to do this. So I draw a polyline around my room and select the hatch net.

My hatch then displays at 600x600 within the room. The only thing I want is for the hatch to start from the center of the room and work outwards. This is so I have a center run of tiles and then they work outwards at 600mm each tile until they reach the outer wall and the last tile will be reduced equally at each side.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Ceiling Grid Using Space Boundary?

Jan 23, 2012

Is there an easy way to use space to generate a ceiling grid.  My predicament is that when I create a space, the lines show up in Medium Detail and I have to switch to Reflected display configuration to see the grid.  But when I am putting in the grid it asks me to choose the space, which is now not visible.  Unless I change the display configuratiion, is there a way to pick the space while in the reflected display configuration.

Or better yet, is there a way to create a script that will toggle the space display on and off while in reflected.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Ceiling Grid - Unknown Command

Apr 17, 2012

I recently downloaded the trial version of Autocad Architecture 2013. I changed my main customization file to aca.cuix so that I would have the build panel. The build panel is now there, but it is not working. All the icons are questions marks and when I click on the ceiling grid icon it says 'unknown command'. How can I get the ceiling grid function to start working?

Revit :: Can Ceiling Type Be Linked To Room Finish Schedule

Feb 8, 2013

In a recent meeting wtih cilent, we asked her to review the Finish Schedule.  She pointed out that one of the ceilings was supposed to be gypsum board rather than ACT.  Looking on our RCP, it was showing gyp board, but the schedule, which is populated from the Room Properties, was calling out  (the non-updated) ACT 2x2. 
 
Is there some way to link the ceiling type directly to the finish schedule directly, rather than make double changes (updating the room properties and the actual ceiling type) in order for the proper information to be showing?  Seems odd and not very useful to have this kind of redundancy and something that should have been worked out long ago in Revit.

AutoCad :: Create 2x4 Ceiling Grid Hatch For Layout Planning

May 2, 2012

I'm trying to create a simple 2x4 ceiling grid hatch for layout planning, but AutoCAD keeps giving me an error when I try to use it.

Here's the custom hatch that I wrote at the very end of the acad.pat file:
*CGRID, 2x4 grid
0, 0,0, 0,48
90, 0,0, 0,24

When I load up ACAD, it shows the hatch in the selection, but after I've defined the area and I try to apply the hatch, I get this error in the command line:

Missing parameter on line 385.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Mode Snaps To Grid But Snap And Grid Are Both Switched Off?

Jul 23, 2012

I have a user and when he's in sketch mode he trys to draw a line but it keeps on snapping to a grid.  Both snap and grid setting are switched off.  I can't find any settings he has different from my own set-up so I'm finding it hard to fox this problem.  FYI, this user is a bit of a problem and tends to change settings without even realising he's doing it.

He's using Inventor 2012.

Illustrator :: Perspective Grid Tool - Make A Shadow Of Word Flat On Bottom Grid?

Apr 25, 2013

When using the perspective grid tool and type, I have a word on the right side of the grid in perspective, and I want to make a shadow of this word flat on the bottom grid. (Like how a tall building casts a shadow flat on the ground)
 
I tried using the shear tool to do it but it is a bit tricky getting it just right. There must be an easier way to do it within the perspective tool grid.
 
When I type the word and align it to the bottom grid, how do I rotate it whilst still being aligned in perspective on the bottom grid?If I try and rotate the word using the selection tool it rotates off axis so it is no longer laying flat on the bottom grid.
 
Words placed on the bottom grid always read from the left vanishing point - I want the word to read from the right vanishing point so it aligns with my word on the right grid wall.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grid Volume - Changing Grid Spacing

Jan 18, 2012

Understanding that composite volumes are typically more accurate, I have a reason to evaluate the volume between two surfaces via a grid volume.  Easily created a grid volume surface using a 50' grid (50' is large for this site, but wanted to get a feel for calculation time).

Question: Can you change the grid size without creating a new grid surface?  Ultimately I woud like to explore the difference in volumes based on grid sizing without creating a long list of surfaces.  One would expect that you could chage the grid spacing in surface properties, but the values are non-editable.

Paint.NET :: Adjust Grid Size And To Snap-to-grid?

Sep 10, 2013

I'm looking for an option to adjust the grid size and to snap-to-grid. 
 
For some purposes, you can find a way around this, but it is a pain when working on a project that requires perfect precision. 
 
The topic has been brought up before, but I'm hoping to hear of any news on the possibility of implementing it. I don't assume there has been made any plugins to cater this need since earlier posts on the matter, so I'm hoping to persuade developers to implement the feature in a new version of paint.net instead.
 
If you need to know more specifically what I'm looking for, then it's basically what you have in Adobe Illustrator or any decent 3D modelling software you will ever come across. It would work pretty much exactly like the grid already in place, except you would not be limited to working only with individual pixels, but rather groups of pixels as you zoom further out. The grid would preferably have thicker lines every 5, 10 or 15 lines, etc. for user to position the various elements.

Paint.NET :: How To Specify Grid Width Or Disable Snap To Grid

Aug 10, 2011

I'm using Paint.NET 3.5.8 on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.

While editing small (16 x 16) images, I noticed that Paint.NET used a grid with a width of 2 pixels. Selection rectangles snap to this grid, as do paste operations.

How can I specify the grid width or disable this snap to grid effect altogether?

Illustrator :: AI CS6 - Image Folded Over Perspective Grid Center

Apr 19, 2013

I have a word EDGE and I try to place it in the middle of the perspective grid, so the half left follow the left grid,
while the half right follow the right gird.
 
something like this:
 
Right now I use two graphics, and I was curious, whether I can use one image, place it in the center of the grid, and have it automatically fold over the left and right side. I'm working on very complex vector and I would rather not split it into half to create two independent images.
 
Is there a way to do it ?
 
Whenever I like to adjust the perspective using the drag points, the graphics won't adjust accordingly. I find myself refining the persective grid and than manually, from scratch readjusting all my artowork. Is there a way to do automatically ?

Paint.NET :: Drawing With A Grid And Then Removing The Grid

Mar 7, 2012

Exactly what the topic title says. My goal is to draw a custom map with pinpoint accuracy compared to what I envision it as. So, I want to use a grid that I can fill in the individual sections of to create this image, and then remove the grid afterwards when I finish, or at least make it completely invisible.

Is there anyway to accomplish that?

Photoshop :: Printing The Grid (or Any Grid!)

Sep 12, 2007

I have an interior laid out on a scaled grid, and I want to print a copy that displays the grid (ie: visible on the printed page). But everything (& I mean everything) indicates that grids per definition NEVER print.

I also thought that I could create my own grid on a separate layer, but if that's an option, I can't find that either...

Revit :: Grid Bubbles Size

Feb 23, 2011

I am just starting to use revit and in trying to do some tutorials i am having problems with the grid bubbles.  The bubbles are so small that there is no visible text inside them and since the bubbles are so small it makes it difficult to adjust the lines and understand which line is which. 
 
is this a configuration issue, scale issue, type issue?  I havge tried to load grid bubble families but this does not change anything
