Issues with Structural Views

octavio2 — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 22:26:45 GMT

Issues with Structural Views (of structural plans that are beginning to be prepared on a set of architectural plans, and the structural settings were transferred using "Transfer Project Standards" from Revit's 2020 Structural Template):

1. On an existing building which is being drawn, on the plan the grid line number “2” shows as a number "2.1" inside its bubble, and when an attempt is made to change the number inside the bubble to the number “2”, it indicates that it already exist. The sequence is correct from now on, 2, 4, 5, etc., except for that unwanted number 2.1. I do not see the number “2” grid anywhere on the plan so it could be moved or changed, and the unwanted “2.1 is still there.
How could I find the “hidden” number “2” grid line with its circle (or without the circle?).

2. The second and floor structural plans show the elements that were transferred from a structural template, but do show the exterior existing tilt up walls that are to remain. I went to visibility graphics dialog and these are clicked with a cross, so I wonder why they are not seen. I believe it is desirable that these existing concrete tilt up wall are seen on that plan also, in addition to the interior steel columns (these show OK now). How can these concrete tilt up walls be visible on these structural plans?

1. Grid 2 must be there, not showing because of the 3D extent. You can select any grid, SA, right click to maximize the 3D extents.

2. maybe the tilt wall is not checked as a structural wall and will not show in structural discipline.

I changed the 3d to 2d but still could not change the number to '2", but it worked when I changed it to "2.0"

This being a common issue, it appears, why Autodesk has not devised a quick and Efficient way to find the missing grid with the number that might be on the wrong location?

I keep getting the following messges:

"The name entered is already in use. Use a unique number"

What is what "SA" means?

Create a grid schedule and you can find the grid.
