Setting up grids for larger-scale (big) objects?

[atURDHL]

I can't seem to figure out how best to set up grids/snaps for creating relatively large objects - for example, I'd like to create a wall that's 60' long x 30' high x 4' deep... seems I'm stuck with the grids disappearing & only showing numbers in inches... ?? 🙂

Any help appreciated.

this seemed to work OK for me:

units setting for the document:  feet

Grid settings:  layout grid on, grid snapping on, incremental move on:

grid settings:  10 foot major grids, 10 minor per major

incremental move settings: 0.25 feet

of course, adjust to your own preference

Hi,

Why grid?

Sketch the profiles and dimension them.
