To Use Grip Points to Move Ceiling Grid Lines

Use this procedure to move a ceiling grid line by dragging the grip points of the line. Manual grids have a pair of grip points for the start point and end point of each line.

  1. Select the grid where you want to move grid lines.

    For each line in the grid, a pair of grip points (start point and end point) is displayed.

    Tip: If your grid displays only four lines for the corners of the grid, the Layout type needs to be changed to Manual on the grid’s Properties palette.
  2. Use the grip points to drag the lines in either horizontal or vertical direction.
    • If you move a grid line beyond the grid border, the grid is enlarged accordingly.
    • If you move one of the border lines of the grid to the inside of the grid, the grid is decreased accordingly.
