How to make grid visible on this plan like this?

Grid line 4, 5, 6 doesnt show  on elevation and horizontal section.

This will be questioned by client/owner ?

Only grids perpendicular to the section/elevation view show in the view.

Hello @walidinJKACC! Axes are not displayed if they are not perpendicular to the section. In your case, you need to create 2 sections. Horizontal section in axes 1-4 and rotated section 4-6. Then you need to place them on a sheet and move it so that it seems that this is one section. To make them identically named, add the unicode symbol to the name of one of them

Best regards, Pavel Plotitsyn.

Like the others have said, unfortunately if the grid lines are not perpendicular to the elevation cut line, they will not show up. The idea of splicing to sections/elevations together is really your only choice. Hopefully this will be something correct in future versions or Revit. As well as elevations along curved grid lines.

IMHO showing the angled grid lines there is misleading. But if you insist, there are a few workarounds:

1. draw ref planes at intersection of the angle grid lines and the section cut line. They will show in your section and you can draw detail lines/symbols to fake the grid lines.

2. draw actual grid lines in lieu of the ref planes above, the name them to match the angle grid lines with extra Unicode character. Hide them on plans and other non-applicable views.

@ToanDNboth really good ideas. I would lean towards using the reference plans and not put in actual gridlines or any other item you may have to hide in plan, section or elevation. I find that if you need to hide something you are bond to forget in a view and that is how mistakes are made. We are heading in the direction of trying to find better ways to do things if we have to hide something.

I wrote a blog post describing using a generic model family to make a "grid like" appearance available in section/elevation.
