To Remove Lines From a Ceiling Grid With Fixed Bay Size

Use this procedure to remove lines from a grid with bays of fixed size. Normally, in a grid with fixed bays, the distance between the grid lines is more important factor than the number of grid lines.

To remove lines from a grid with a fixed bay size, you have 2 options:

• Decrease the overall grid size (for more information, see Changing the Dimensions of a Ceiling Grid).
• Increase the size of the bays.
  Tip: In cases where the number of lines is important for the grid, change the Layout type of the grid from Repeat to Space evenly or Manual.

1. Double-click the ceiling grid from which you want to remove lines.
2. Expand Dimensions.
3. Remove grid lines:

   If you want to…	Then…
   remove grid lines from the X axis of the grid	expand X Axis, and enter a value for Bay size.
   remove grid lines from the Y axis of the grid	expand Y Axis, and enter a value for Bay size.

   If you enter a value that increases the size of the bays, the number of grid lines decreases as the extra bays are removed from the grid.

   A number of lines have been removed by increasing the size of the individual bays.
