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.
- Double-click the ceiling grid from which you want to remove lines.
- Expand Dimensions.
- 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.
