Grid/Level
Use Create to add grids/levels, Trim to change endpoints, and Convert 2D/3D to choose view-specific or model extents. Check coordinates/elevations separately from the displayed extent.
Verification limits are stated for each tool. Dialog captures establish visible controls; created or edited elements require separate checks in the model, Properties and saved RVT.
Logo, Feedback and YouTube actions are explained in the common dialog footer.
Create Grid
Run in a Floor Plan or Engineering Plan. Enter vertical/horizontal grid spacing in mm. Separate spans with commas; * repetition is supported. Test a simple series such as 3000,4000,3000 on a copy first. Each direction has naming-rule radios, starting number/letter, name/prefix and count inputs; avoid existing names.
Create Vertical / Create Horizontal creates one direction; Create Both creates both. Pick location/direction points as prompted. Measure spans, names and count, then inspect extents in another view. Undo and try a second series. Entry-command creation remains unverified here.
Create Level
Run in an Elevation. The two tabs accept spacing between Levels or Level elevations, in mm. Values are comma-separated; the source supports * repetition. Distinguish storey spacing from absolute elevation. Each tab provides naming-rule radios, name and starting-number inputs.
Create Level starts point picking. Inspect each Level's name and Elevation in Properties, including negative elevations. Video opens guidance rather than creating a Level. Creating Levels does not establish that plan views were created. Runtime creation/Undo remains unverified.
Trim Level
Choose Multi / One by one for 2D / 3D, then pick Levels and the target boundary as prompted. 2D changes view-specific extents; 3D works with model datum extents.
Compare two elevations: record end points, trim in the first view, inspect the second and Undo. Trimming extents must not be mistaken for changing Level elevation. All four runtime branches remain unverified.
Level Bubble
Choose Left / Right for the Level ends, confirm OK, then inspect bubbles in the current elevation. Bring datum ends inside the visible/crop region and check category/annotation crop before diagnosing missing bubbles. This changes symbols rather than elevation or Level count. Result evidence remains pending.
Convert Level 2D
Converts Level end extents to view-specific 2D. Use an elevation showing the Levels, check the 2D end control, then adjust an end on a copy. Compare another elevation and Undo. Grid 2D evidence does not verify Level 2D; this runtime branch remains pending.
Convert Level 3D
Returns Level end extents to 3D/model extent. Inspect both ends and related elevations; model-extent changes can affect multiple views. Compare Elevation before/after. Runtime conversion back to 3D remains unverified.
Trim Grid 3D
Choose Multi or Select One and follow Grid/boundary prompts. This trims/extends model extents, separately from switching to 3D mode. Record ends, compare a second view and Undo. Curved grids require a separate case. Runtime 3D trimming remains unverified.
Trim Grid 2D
Choose Multi / Select One in a view containing the Grid and target boundary. Check view-specific 2D extent, then follow picking prompts. Inspect datum curves, bubbles and a second view. Do not interpret extent editing as moving the model axis. Runtime 2D trimming remains pending; see Convert Grid 2D for mode conversion.
Grid Bubble
Quickly Turn On/Off Grid Bubbles.
Grid bubble show/hide walkthrough · Settings reference. Top/Left was applied; the visible bubble-head result still needs verification in a suitable view region.
Convert Grid 2D
Switch grid ends to 2D extents for view-specific adjustments.
Convert Grid 2D walkthrough, screenshots, video and model · Scope and verification reference. Active-view 2D extent control was verified; this is separate from Trim Grid 2D.
Convert Grid 3D
Returns Grid ends to model extent; it does not automatically extend them to a boundary. Inspect the 3D end control, compare another view and Undo. Names, model location and Grid count should be distinguished from extent mode. Runtime Grid 3D remains pending.
