Greeting,
In this video I will explain the following:
1- How to make a Revit Grid (Parametric Grid in Revit)
2- Using Dynamo to Create a sequence of points to define the grid in both X and Y Axis
3- Grid.ByLine (Dynamo)
3- Line.ByStartPointByEndPoint (Dynamo)
4- Sliders (Dynamo)
5- Code Block

Es sorprendente tu video, me sirvio de mucho. Gracias y felicidades por compartir tus conocimientos.

Most welcome dear

Thanks for the video

Dear pro, how to solve the problem of me? If the grids I create from number 1 the result I got from number 2 and the gridline I started from letters A I got the letters B.

Thank you for the video. How could I create a script which name the location of the items related to grid lines?

Hi Titi, Can you explain more please?

@@FirasNoori Hi, I'm creating scaffolding families in Revit and I have to create a family to identify the item by the grid position to be able to calculate the load on each leg of the scaffold. For example, let's regard that we have a structural beam locate between grid 1-2 horizontal and A-B vertical, I would like to be able to see it on my schedule, as I can see the column location according to grid lines. Thanks.

@@titomoura7014 Have a look at the rest of the videos in this series, at the end, I will make a line to connect the dots and each line actually represents a beam,, you can get back the location (Start point and endpoint of each line) this will give you exactly the location of each beam!! for naming you can add a sequence of letters like A, B, C to be added to each beam you create in Dynamo to name each beam a unique one

@@FirasNoori Thank you for responding me! I will look at it carefully.

Firas - thanks so much for your videos. They are very helpful and easy to follow along. I work in the parking garage industry and do lots of 3D proposal drawings. A lot of repetition in what I draw so Dyn can be very beneficial. What I am trying to do in set up a universal program where all I have to do is a few inputs and bam my garage is drawn, mainly with just length width and height of garage. I will eventfully need to understand how to introduce ramps, columns and so on. Im struggling with how to set up an intereractive model where all I need to specify is the 2 end bay dim (45') and 5 bays in between (36' = 180') and then of course the multiple bays in the Y axis at 60' but can be changed. any help is greatly appreciated.

Greeting, dear Robbie, I am happy you find these videos useful, i tried once to make a parking but in 2d base in dynamo, it was a couple of hours goffy tests, that failed soon as I was just testing, but for columns I did a full set of videos in my channel to make automatically generated grids and beams and columns, look at it, for ramp and 3d parking it can be done indeed, it might take a 2 months of work to make it accurate and to make it comprehensive, u can use a linear array function ir even better 2d array dynamo to create a parametric x and y zone that has in it your cars, yet applying the columns to it is another battle :) You can use the automatic building that I made (automatic room, I do not remeber the name :) ) and make it multi story, just try to tackle each problem alone, so First make a linear array of parking Second make the bin Third fix the circulation possibility (this is a nightmare mate!!) Fourth do the multi story Fifth do the ramp Cheers mate

[@ukasha47]

What about if we have to make uniformly varying grid in which each grid to grid distance is to be changed. what additions do we need to this script?

[@FirasNoori]

You can define a direct input to control this, but each user will have his own length of grids as one will need 10 and other need 20 grid and they all can be carried not equal dimension, good idea, let me see if I can make a video regarding that, thnx for this powerful question

See this video for you :)

Hi. Can you please specify how we can change the grid bubble size by using Dynamo

[@FirasNoori]

Hi, i guess that you can change that in revit scale rather in dynamo, i never tried that to be honest in dynamo before! FN

[@elivania6072]

eu preciso alinhar este eixo com objeto de uso , como fazer?

[@FirasNoori]

I am using Automatic Translation from Google, so not really sure if the translation was correct. If I understand you write, you can align these grids to an existing one, or you can import CAD grid and them let Dynamo sense them and change them Automatically to Revit one, you can use select model elements, and then get CurveElement.Curve to change Revit ELement inro Dynamo Lines, then use Curve.end and Curve.StartPoint to build you own automatic Dynamo Grid and get it back to Revit!! this is a series time saver node, I should made it one day, Sorry for my late replay as I have midterm Exams at university and I have lots of student to examine every day. Cheers

[@elivania6072]

@@FirasNoori I used the translator too, I hope you understand. thank you for answering, because i build walls in the revit first then put lines of axes, so i avoid going to dwg and back, this grid inserted in the center of the wall in use, it is not good to create all the walls and send to dwg and back in revit for grid lines, axis in the center. it doesn't become practical and fast.

[@elivania6072]

for a quick process it is to select walls, another object, detect the center and thus insert the axis, grid lines. that's what I'm thinking and having trouble doing.

[@elivania6072]

and do you have dynamo to put measurements in the project automatically, by video for me to do?
