What it does

Grid creation shouldn't be the slow part of starting a model. Placing and dimensioning a full set by hand, one line at a time, usually is. GridCreator creates multiple Revit grids in one run from two inputs: how many grids you need and the offset distance between them. Set the count and offset, then run it against the active project. A layout that used to mean placing and dimensioning each line by hand becomes one run with two numbers, though the offset is uniform across the set; for irregular bay spacing, you still adjust individual grids afterward.

FAQ

Questions about this product

Can I set different spacing between individual grids?

The base input is a single offset applied uniformly. For irregular bay spacing, adjust individual grids in Revit after the batch run.

Do I need to know Dynamo?

No. It runs from Dynamo Player: set the count and offset, and run.
