Copy/Monitor Parameters for Grids

Before selecting grids to copy for monitoring, specify the following parameter values on the Copy/Monitor Options dialog. See Specifying Options for Copy/Monitor and Copying Elements for Monitoring.

Reuse grids with the same name

When you select this option, if the current project contains a grid line with the same name as a grid line in the linked model, a new grid line is not created. Instead, the existing grid line in the current project is moved to match the location of the grid line in the linked model, and monitoring is established between these grid lines.

Reuse matching grids

Select one of the following values:

• Don’t reuse: Creates a copy of a grid line, even if the current project already contains a grid line at the same location.
• Reuse if Elements match exactly: If the current project contains a grid line that occurs at the same location as a grid line in the linked model, the grid line in the linked model is not copied. Instead, Revit creates a relationship between these grid lines in the current project and the linked model.
