Reset Grid numbers?

[emmanuelbee]

Is there a way to reset grid numbers when you have made a mistake? or do i have to  manually change each grid number one by one?

...hi @emmanuelbee

.... as long as I know

... you need to do it manually

... REVIT doesn't know how to do that

... unless you go.... UNDO ... several times

... or open a backup

Hello, you have to do it manually. thanks

First open the template then follow these steps:

1. Draw a grid;

2. Change the name to "0";

3. Delete the grid;

4. Save the Template.

Next time you open the template, the first grid will start from "1".

I haven't tried it, but there is a dynamo script on #4 to set the grid line numbers.

Or lets say you draw some grids (1,...,6) and for some reason removed the grids (2,3 & 5). The result would be the grids (1,4 & 6). In this case you may use the Dynamo to re order this grids to (1,2 & 3) for you:

This worked in Revit 2022 and deletes all Grids so that you can start again,

Create a new grid

Select the newly created grid with a right click then use left click to open drop down menu

click "Select all instances - In Entire Project" 

Hit delete

Grids created after this start at 01 and you can rename them without the error message "The name entered is already in use. Enter a unique name."
