Grids

Use the Grid command to place column grid lines in the building design. You can then add columns along
the column grid lines. Grid lines are finite planes. You can drag their extents in elevation views so that they
do not intersect level lines. This allows you to determine whether grid lines appear in each new plan view
that you create for the project. For more information, see
Visibility of Arc Grids in Views
Grids can be straight lines or arcs.
You can hide grid lines after you add them. For more information, see
160.

Revit Architecture 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.
