Shoutout to the old drafter who saved me 2 hours on a ceiling grid layout

Last Thursday I was staring at a reflected ceiling plan for a school gym in Fresno, totally stuck on how to lay out the grid around these weird light coves. One of the senior guys, Bill, walked by and glanced at my screen for maybe 10 seconds. He said, 'Just offset your baseline grid 6 inches from the south wall and let the math fix itself.' I tried it and it snapped right in place. Has anyone else had an old timer drop a one-liner that cut your drafting time in half?

Bill's close but ceiling grids usually work better starting from center.

Nah, @the_simon, Bill knows what he's doing.
