Move Grids independently in Stories

[farzanbayat74]

In many projects, it is needed to move grids independently in stories, because columns get smaller in upper stories, so grids spacing changes too.

Right now, when you move a grid in one story, it moves in all other stories too.

Revit should allow the user to choose whether grids are dependent or independent in different stories.

The purpose of a grid is to have a fixed reference throughout the building. Variable grid sizes pretty much defeats that purpose. If you want the grid to follow the columns, then add extra grid lines.

You could have a different grid layout for every floor, but it's a recipe for disaster.

As you said, drawing grids for each floor is very laborious.

But I have no other choice, because field engineers need the distance between column centroids for each floor.

When we worked with AutoCAD, we did this manually. I really want to have a better tool in Revit to do this.

Don't think your idea will gain much votes?

In your case, I would create a Scope Box for each level and tie the set of grids for that level to the designated scope box.
