To Mask Ceiling Grids

Use this procedure to mask a ceiling grid. A mask is a polyline shape or space that defines the boundaries of a ceiling grid. Those parts of the grid outside the boundary are not displayed.

  1. Draw a closed polyline with the boundary or hole shape you want.
  2. Select the grid you want to mask.
  3. Click Ceiling Grid tabClipping panelSet Boundary.
  4. Select the closed polyline or space you want to use as a mask.
  5. The parts of the ceiling grid that are outside the masking polyline or space are no longer displayed.

    Tip: If you want to restore the original grid shape, go to the Properties palette and select None for Boundary.
