Non-orthogonal structural axis

Anonymous

Hi all,

 

Trying to achieve a non-orthogonal grid, with the x-axis 11deg off horizontal and the y-axis completely vertical. In other words, a rhombus grid and not a rectangular grid.

 

What's the best way to do this?

Have tried arbitrary axes aligning to points but run in to difficulties when I try and repeat the grid over many storeys. Currently working with a 11deg skewed grid over a normal grid, but there must be a better way!

 

Thanks,

There are 3 types of grids in RSA : Cartesian, Cylindrical and arbitrary axes.

 

A way to do this to use 2 grid system together; Cartesian and Cylindrical , where you can use angles' option with cylinder system. 

 

You can show/Hide each of system as you can from axis manager.

 

See the Screenshot.
