Dragging grid end point switches from 2D to 3D

[Marcus.Isacsson]

Hi fellas!

When we're dragging a grid end point it suddenly switches from 2D to 3D?
How does this affect us and what's the solution to sticking it to 2D?

Thanks in advance

I suggest you create a scope box and use it to drive 2d representation.

Sounds neat. I've always wondered if I'm missing something crucial here.
Dragging the grids and using "propagate extents" doesn't always seem to work all the way.

How is it done using scope boxes? We're currently using scope boxes for all our dependent plans.

2D Extents controls the display of the line itself, while the 3D extents controls whether the line will appear in other referring views.

- You may have clicked the 2D symbol instead of the blue dot when you were trying to drag the grid line end.  

- Propagate Extent only works for non-cropped views (both source and target views).  After finish propagating, you can re-crop the views if need be.

- Scope box control 3D extent of levels and grids, not 2D extent
