Unable to edit reflected ceiling plan

Anonymous
Not applicable

okay so I have two reflected ceilings. one is at 9' and the other is at 10'. The 9' one i created the other day and i was able to rotate and realign it. I just created the 10' one and i can see it and select the boundary but i cant select the grid lines to readjust it. I've attached a snip of the grid I'm trying to manipulate and of my view range settings. 

 

Hopefully one of you guys can help me figure this out.

Change 10' one to 9'. Can you edit it? If so, might be cut plane/view range problem.

So i just created a random rectangular one off to the side at 10' and I'm able to edit that one. I recreated the one in the room that i want but i still cant edit that one. I'm wondering if the shape is to complicated?

Has something to do with the xref i had in the drawing. |Once i removed the xref i was able to edit the grid in place.

 

I was able to use the xref to align the 9' ceiling and place all the lights but for some reason it impacts this grid.

The issue was with the .dwg. I had a custom hatch pattern for my ceiling grid layout that causes the issue in revit. 

 

If you explode the hatch, then reinsert the dwg into the revit model, then you will be able to edit the reflected ceiling grid. Hope this helps.
