Add Grids

Grids are annotation elements that help organize your design.

1. On the ribbon, click (Grid).
   • Architecture tabDatum panel (Grid)
   • Structure tabDatum panel (Grid)
2. Click Modify | Place Grid tabDraw panel and select a sketch option.

   Use (Pick Lines) to snap the grid to an existing line, such as a wall.

   (Optional) Click Modify | Place Grid tabDraw panel (Multi-Segment) to sketch grids requiring more than one segment.

   Note: You cannot use the Copy/Monitor tool to monitor and coordinate changes to multi-segment grids.
3. Click when the grid is the correct length.

Revit automatically numbers each grid. To change the grid number, click the number, enter the new value, and press ENTER. You can use letters for grid line values. If you change the first grid number to a letter, all subsequent grid lines update appropriately.

As you draw grid lines, the heads and tails of the lines can align to one another. If grid lines are aligned and you select a line, a lock appears to indicate the alignment. If you move the grid extents, all aligned grid lines move with it.
