3D Grid Placer

Most Popular

Turn flat Revit grids into 3D grid lines visible in 3D views and Navisworks.

  • Place 3D grid lines on every selected level, from the host model or any loaded Revit link
  • Match linked levels to your model by elevation or name, and create missing levels automatically
  • Normalize grid direction so every grid head points the same way
  • Create a family type per level and stamp Grid and Level parameters on each instance
  • Skip grids already placed, so rerunning after a grid or level change is safe
  • Run in a single transaction — one undo, and a clean rollback if anything fails

3D Grid Placer in action inside Autodesk Revit

The Problem

Grids vanish the moment you leave a plan or elevation. Coordination teams either eyeball locations in 3D or hand-model throwaway generic model lines level by level, then redo the whole thing every time a grid or a level changes.

The Solution

Revit grids are 2D datums — they don't show up in 3D views or survive a Navisworks export. This plugin places a line-based 3D grid family on every level you choose, driven by the grids in your model or in any loaded Revit link.

Estimated Time Saved

1-2 hours per model setup, and again on every grid or level revision
