Hi Vaishnav,
The dimensions of your elements do not change if you modify the grid. You would have to individually modify the elements for exp: walls, columns in order to do that.
So u mean the walls move away eventhough their coordinates are fixed in space ?
No, that does not happen. If you modify the grid dimensions ONLY the grid position moves. The wall or column elements stay in it's exact co-ordinates where it has been placed.

Hi V,
Unfortunatley, the type of associative behaviour you are looking for is not currently supported when you use ABD / Triforma Forms. It has been discussed and requested many times over the years.
1. You may want using GC CE U4, which now has a Grid node. Please note that one particular problem that has been highlighted before is that any Joins between a 'dumb' ABD / TF Form like a Wall with a GC Wall do not work. Ditto for any associative Mstn elments like associative dimensions.
So, when a GC Wall is flexed, any walls connected to it using a TF Join will not maintain its connection, requiring manual clean up.
At least that was the result the last time I look at this. It would be good to see it things have improved.
2. You may also want to try using Mstn's CE's Parametric Solids, which can make use of 2/3d Constraints. Unfortunately, I don't think that ABD/Mstn allow the Constraints tools to work on the Grid elements.
Eventually, I hope that ABD's TF elements would be converted to be variants of Mstn's Parametric Solids, and a smarter dependency manager that can deal with all elements (more like R*vit) will be put in place.
