I think I know the answer is no, but can grids be visible in a skewed elevation?

I think I remember a "fudge" for this in a thread a long time ago, regarding curved walls, etc?Cliff B. Collins

I think that the answer came from your post Steve, in that you want to be careful not to dimension to these make shift grids. The contractor, more than likely is not interested in grids with skewed walls unless you are providing an angle dimension from wall to grid in plan only. So, I will proceed to model as the contractor would build it, and that is to not be concerned with grids with skewed walls in elevation.Originally posted by Steve_Stafford View PostBettisworth NorthComment

My gut reaction to "the complaint" has always been, "How useful is a grid that is showing up along a curved or angled wall?" My bias has always been from the, "I've got a tape measure in my hand, how does this help me?" It can help me find myself in the larger context of the building documentation but when I have my tool belt on it's not giving me useful information, at least not on its own.Comment

My workaround for this project and others is to elevate a skewed wall as well as the adjacent wall/walls that are perpendicular to the grids. Align them on my sheets next to one another, only providing the view title for the predominate view. This method will show grids as well as the ability to dimension from that grid using real dimensions.Originally posted by Steve_Stafford View PostBettisworth NorthComment
