Is it possible to show curtain wall grids?

Marcus.Isacsson — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:07:35 GMT

Hi!

Feels like I've missed something...
Is it possible to permanently show the curtain wall grids in a view?
We have a curtain wall filled with a bunch of grids, I would like to remove as many as possible but right now
I can't see where they are...

1) Go to a wireframe view

2) Hide Mullions

Snap a screenshot and put it on the side next to the Revit window?

Assuming you have mullions on all the grid lines, and that all the mullions are pinned --- Window select entire Curtain Wall and Filter Select just the Curtain Wall Grids and unpin them all. Then toggle the Select Pinned Elements button in the lower right corner to disallow selection of Pinned Elements. Now, when you hover the mouse over mullions, only the Grid Line will highlight.

That's my best shot. Let the mullions identify the grid line locations.

Unfortunately this isn't the case, most of the mullions have been deleted and edited.

I actually started doing that but It feels really weird taking snapshots like this just to see things. It also makes the workflow a bit troublesome, I have to change quite many of those curtain walls that have changed in the project.

This is what I get (no visible curtain wall grids).
Hidden mullions and wireframe. Also isolated one of the curtain walls:

Per Revit - the 'grid' is the pattern followed by mullions....

Well, right now we have some curtain wall grids where mullions haven't been placed. This is what I aim to cleanup.
(picture of least cluttered one). I think that it's really really weird not being able to see the grids permanently.
Searching with mouseover to find and delete grids just feels wrong.

Going back to this question...
Is there a way to permanently show curtain grid lines?
