<p>The Grid tool allows you to place a grid-like object in the document. This object is meant to serve as a base to build Arch objects that need a regular but complex frame, such as windows, curtain walls, column grids, railings, etc. The Grid object is editable like a spreadsheet, where you can add or remove columns and rows, define their size, and merge cells.
|
|
</p><p>The Grid is a 2D object, and can therefore be used anywhere a 2D shape such as a <a href="Draft_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Draft Workbench">Draft</a> or <a href="Sketcher_Workbench.html" title="Sketcher Workbench">Sketch</a> is needed, but it can also behave as a <a href="Arch_AxisSystem.html" title="Arch AxisSystem">Arch AxisSystem</a>, and be used to propagate the placement of other Arch objects.

<li> Set the <b>Width</b> and <b>Height</b> of the grid in the properties</li>

<li> Enter edit mode by double-clicking the grid object in the tree view</li>

<li> Add rows and columns</li>

<ul><li> A column width or row height of 0 means its size will be adapted automatically to fit the total width/height of the grid</li>
|
|
<li> Cells can be merged and unmerged by selecting them and clicking the appropriate button</li>
|
|
<li> When used as the <b>Axis</b> property of other Arch objects, the grid will drive the positioning of these objects. The <b>Points Output</b> property defines how the other objects are placed on the grid: At vertices, edge midpoints or face centers</li>
|
|
<li> By setting the <b>Auto Height</b> or <b>Auto Width</b> properties to a non-zero value, the total number of rows/columns and their individual heights/widths is ignored. Instead, the maximum number of columns or rows of the given auto width/height get automatically created</li></ul>
