Grids
Grids are AEC objects on which you can anchor other objects, such as columns, and constrain
their locations.
Grids
Grids are AEC objects on which you can anchor other objects, such as columns,
and constrain their locations. Grids are useful in the design and documentation
phases of a project.
Types of Grids
There are several types of grids, each with its own purpose:
Layout grids help you position objects relative to each other in your building
design. For more information about layout grids, see Layout Curves and Grids
on page 2677.
Column grids are layout grids that place a column at each intersection of the
grid as you add it to your drawing. They are unique also in that they have
automatic labeling tools. For more information about columns, see Creating a
Freestanding Column on page 2545 or Creating Grid-Anchored Columns on page
2551.
Ceiling grids are specialized layout grids that represent suspended ceiling systems
or cassette ceilings. They can be anchored to a space object at ceiling height.
All of these grid types share some common features.
Anchoring Objects to Grids
Grids can be used to anchor other objects. This is most visible in column grids,
where special functionality allows you to anchor columns to the grid during
insertion. Once the grid is inserted, you can add other objects to it as well.
