    Overview

    Sometimes we have columns, but no grid lines or by mistake the Workframe or Grid is deleted which is not saved as template also. So this will explain how to get the Workframe/Grid at the selected Column Center points.

    Method

    The Situation is, one has columns already modeled, but no grids. To get the grid or Workframe at Column Center points please follow the below steps provided

    1. Create a default Workframe first.

    2. Go to Workframe dialog and go to right side of Division Section and then go to Height / Width Drop down.

    3. Click on Drop down and and keeping mouse pointer to any of the '0' value press CTRL+Left Mouse Click.

    4. the grid will be automatically placed intersecting each column center point..

    So in this way one can easily create the Grid Lines / Workframe accordingly.
