Unable to create a new Grails Project - could not reserve enough space

 I am running IntelliJ 2016.2.5.  I am trying to create a new Grails project.  

If I go File > New > Grails Project.

Set my SDK home and my Grails SDK Home

Select Next.

Name the project

I then get an error stating:

Failed to sync Gradle project myProject

unable to start the daemon process: could not reserve enough space for object heap.

Please assign more memory...

So, I have added the line suggested

org.gradle.jvmargs=Xmx1024m. 

Still the same error.

I even tried 2048 and still get the same error.

I am in a Grails class and need to figure this out as soon as possible.
