Apart from the overall dimensions of a ceiling grid, you can also change the number and position of grid lines on the X and Y axes. There are 3 different layout types that control the spacing of lines in a grid. Layout type is specified separately for the X and Y planes on the Properties palette for the grid.
- Manual: You specify the position of each line on the grid.
- Repeat (Fixed Bay Size): You specify equidistant spacing between lines on the grid. The number of lines is determined by the size of the grid. As the size of the grid changes, lines are added or subtracted accordingly. The distance between lines remains fixed.
- Space Evenly: You specify the number of lines on the grid. The space between lines is determined by the size of the grid. As the size of the grid changes, the spacing between lines is lengthened or shortened accordingly. The number of lines remains fixed.
Note: By default, grids are inserted with evenly spaced lines.
The procedures for adding or removing grid lines vary depending on the Layout type in effect, as explained in the following sections.
