Dynamo assign scopebox
Once the tool is running you use the Pick Objects tool to select the grids you want to renumber in the selected order. The toolkit is found on the Add in tab and you will then see Renumber Elements on the Excitech Tools ribbon.

This can be achieved with the Excitech Toolkit, see my previous post for download details: If the grid has not yet been established then it would make more sense to add the new grid and renumber the remaining grids. If you are simply adding a supplementary grid then this poses no problem as shown below, you would just need to edit the witness line on the string of dimensions to incorporate the new grid. Lets first start with the renumbering of grids you can of course do this manually but this can be quite time consuming, especially on large projects. Working with DWG’s and Propagate Extents.A fairly long post but hopefully worth it! To most, the creation and management of grids may seem fairly basic but Revit does have a surprising number of tools to assist with grids and levels. I have had so many questions regarding the visibility and control of grids over the last few weeks that I thought I had better create a blog post and video outlining some best practices when working with Revit grids. Below is the updated graph.Īnd here is christoph’s python Raidl(2019) Thanks to Christoph for providing a Python script to replace the convert to number node. We can also schedule the coordinates of each grid intersection and present this onto drawings or export to Microsoft Excel for input into site instruments. This has the added value of being exposed in Navisworks or an IFC model for a contractor. I have created a Dynamo script to place down a setting out family at each grid intersection and record the grid intersection, Easting and Northing at each location. You can add reference planes across the grid intersections, but this is quite time consuming and prone to error. You may already know that it is tricky to add spot coordinates to each grid intersection as Revit will not ‘snap’ to the grid intersection. I have had a few questions around detailing coordinates of grid intersections with Revit.
