It would help greatly if one could break the grid lines similar to the sections line. We have several projects with U shaped builings where being able to not show the grid lines in the middle courtyard would be helpful.

i agree i can see when that would be usefull
hope this helps
my workaround is to creat 2 grid lines. align them, lock them, then rename them with sililar names like "a" and "A" or "1" and "1."

Well i figured something out myself but is not perfect....I basicly just create myself a second grid patten but this time the color is white and it has no symboles. Then i trace over the line i want to hide with my BLANK grid line and it hides it in plan an elevation. It s a satisfaying result but not perfect, as it s a white line it will hide everything that s underneath. So you might have a thin white line crossing your walls where there use to be a grid line.

Hear, hear! Would be infinitely useful; how did this feature get omitted in the first place, seems pretty intuitive to have included it?! -r

some of you may have already discovered this, but it seems this has been fixed (sort of) in 2009. Click on a grid line, go to properties, click Edit/New, and under the "Center Segment" parameter, pick None. Each line then appears with blue grip dots you can adjust. You may want to duplicate the type first if you want continuous grids also.

cool, never saw that one coming in. if now it was a instance rather than type parameter, or even still instance and type.

You can duplicate it and have one type as being continuous and the other as broken.

Regarding the breakline "center" I see it broken in my elevations, but the bottom portion of the grid is still showing, and my crop region wont cut it out as it's an annotation. Is there any way to hide the botton part of the grid and only show the top without affecting the grids on plan? Thanks!

You can adjust the length of grids in any view without affecting other views - just click on the grid - then click on the 3D switch to change to 2D. (You will see the 3D somewhere near your grid)
