Missing grid line in elevation

teohjingrou — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 01:46:52 GMT

I have attached a file that I can't view the grid line in east and west elevation. However it does appear in north and south elevation. May I know why?

The View is askew to the Grids.

@barthbradley Can you please show me how to adjust the view to be parallel with the grid line? I have tried to rotate it but still cannot get the perfect angle

What's the purpose of the Grids?

...rotate the marker 0.5 degrees. I showed it in my screenshot.

This is my assignment which my lecturer require me to show grid line. Because of my elevation is askew to the grids, there is no grid line in my east west elevation.

The West marker just needs to be rotated 0.50 degrees. The East marker needs to be rotated 0.59 degrees.

Out of curiosity, what's the name and location of the school that's teaching you Revit?

See screencast. to align section line.

You should rotate True North but keep plan upright per Project North so that you don't run into this issues. When you want to show the plan showing rotation per the True North, duplicate the View and set Orientation of the view to True North.

May I know how can I manually TYPE the rotation angle like what you did?

I am from Malaysia, studying in Taylor's University, so this is my third semester and just started to use revit, so my modelling skill is still bad haha. Thanks for you help!

Select the section line, rotate, click to set the rotation base point, move your mouse toward the side you want to rotate to, type in the degree, enter to finish.

Hi sorry to disturb you again, I have rotated it as the elevation view line is parallel with grid line as you see in the screenshot. However, when i press into it, still no grid line in elevation view, how can I solve it ya?

Please watch the screen set more carefully. The section need to be perpendicular to grid lines in order to show them, not parallel.

Align the section to a grid line
Rotate the section 90 degree
Move the section to the correct location

They didn't teach you how to rotate?

Or you didn't understand what I meant by "0.59 degrees" and "1.0 degree"?
