To Add Lines to a Ceiling Grid With Fixed Bay Size

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

To add lines to a grid with a fixed bay size, you have 2 options:

• Enlarge the overall grid size.
• Decrease 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 to which you want to add lines.
2. Expand Dimensions.
3. Add grid lines:

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

   If you enter a value that reduces the size of the bays, the number of grid lines increases as the extra bays are added to the grid.

A number of new lines have been added by decreasing the size of the individual bays.
