Is it possible to remove a portion of a column grid line so it will not show... for instance... if it goes though an entire building... and you only want it show on the exterior walls and would like to remove the interior portion of the grids...

Is this possible?

If so... How?

From Revit Help:

"Open a view that displays grid lines.
Select a grid line, and click Modify Grids tabElement panelElement Properties drop-downType Properties.
In the Type Properties dialog, do the following:
For Center Segment, select None.
For End Segment Weight, End Segment Color, and End Segment Pattern, specify the line weight, color, and pattern of the segments to display on each end of the grid line.
For End Segments Length, enter the length of the segments (in paper space) to display on each end of the grid line.
Use the other parameters to indicate which grid bubble to use and where it should display. See Grid Type Properties.
Click OK.
Revit Architecture updates all grid lines of this type in all views."


cheers.........

does anyone know if there is a way to just do this in a view and not globally in the family like that?

i doubt it, but thought i'd ask :)
