Does anyone know a way to make column grids not parallel to the view show up?  I have a building plan that is curved and the grid follows the curve.  The grids are not showing up in elevation.

Thanks!!

Not sure how you want a curved grid to show in elevation.....

In order for a grid or level to show in section or elevation, the grid/level has to be cut by the view plane.  So grids parallel to the view plane obviously never show up.   And grids not perpindicular to the plane do not show up because why would they?  Where would they be represented?  ... at the cut plane?  ... they move with the depth of the view.

Thanks Yes I know all this.  I just wanted to see if anyone had come up with a way around it.  Because of course my PM wants to see them.  I don't want to have to fake grid lines in elevation. 

Sorry I may have explained it wrong but my grid lines are actually striaght but they are radial with a curved wall.  I am hoping I can just talk him out of wanting to see them.
