Need to make sure the user has the Direction Modification box checked before they can select the grid line

by Drew Backlund

The video did not match what would show up...
for example... right off, your video starts off TEKLA with 3 options...
Environment, Role,Configuration.

Tekla Learning starts off with only 2 options...
Environment and Configuration.

And things are continually different as you go through the video, it's very confusing!!!

I'm not sure what numerical system is being used here, but putting in those values for imperial US gave a grid that was almost 3x the size of the reference grid. I was able to go back and find the correct numbers, but just wanted to give a heads up, this is not imperial.

Imperial number conversion:

6000 = 19'-8"7/32
4500 = 14'-9"3/16
3000 = 9'-10"1/8
2600 = 8'-6"11/32
2400 = 7'-10"15/32
1900 = 6'-2"13/16
