To Create an Enhanced Grid With Different Sized Grid Bays

You can create a grid with differently sized grid bays.

  1. Click Home tab Build panel Column Grid drop-down Enhanced Custom Grid.

    Alternatively, you can select the Enhanced Custom Column Grid tool on the Design Tool Palette.

  2. In the Column Grid dialog box, click the Orthogonal or Radial radio buttons.
  3. Click the Top or Radial tab.
  4. Under Bay Size/Bay Angle enter the first grid bay by clicking the desired value in the preconfigured values list.
  5. For a grid with different sized bays, you need to add one row for each bay. To add a new row for a bay, select the desired value in the list on the left and click it.
    Tip: If the preconfigured values do not contain the size you need, you can either directly edit the row after adding it, or you can edit the list of preconfigured default values.
  6. Proceed to the Left or Arcs tab and add grid bays there with the same method.
  7. If needed, set further properties for your grid.
  8. Press Enter and insert the grid in the drawing.
    Note: After inserting the grid, you can shorten and lengthen the bay size manually. The new bay size gets automatically revised in the Column Grid dialog box input table.
