Multi-Segment Grid Bubble Removed by Crop Region

Here’s a quick tip should you run into the following scenario:

You have a custom shape multi-segment grid visible in your view.  You also have the crop region enabled for the view.  You notice that one or more of the mutli-segment grids are not displaying the end symbol (bubble).

Initially the crop region looks like this and all the bubbles are visible:

You adjust the crop region, and the top symbols no longer display:

This issue is specific to multi-segment grids, where there is only 1 sub-segment visible within the crop region (and that 1 sub-segment is cut by the crop).

The workaround is simple:

• Edit the grid sketch
• Use the Modify > Split Element tool
• Click somewhere within the crop (to create a second sketch segment)
• Finish the sketch.  The multi-segment grid line should display the end symbol now, since there is no longer only 1 sub-segment visible & intersected by the crop region:

Revit 2014 Schedule Footer Alignment

The behavior of Revit 2014 schedules containing a column footer has been updated to match Revit 2013 (or earlier behavior).  If you upgraded a project to Revit 2014 you may have noticed the schedule footer justification always set to column left:

After applying Revit 2014 Update Release 1 and opening the same project, the footer alignment should follow the column horizontal alignment:

Revit 2014 allows you to format columns using either the Schedule Properties > Formatting > Alignment setting, or by selecting the column index in the schedule view and using the ribbon Appearance > Align Horizontal tool:

Don’t forget you can first align the column by selecting the column index > Align Horizontal, and then override the column header alignment (by clicking inside the header cell and using the same tool) should you need both the header and column to vary.
