1. Open a view with visible grids​

Open a plan or 3D view with model grids visible. Grid 2D acts on the grids in the active view and opens no settings dialog. Choose a view in which the 2D end positions are easy to inspect.

2. Run Convert Grid 2D​

On BimSpeed dot G E N, open Grid slash Level and choose Convert Grid 2D. The command converts grid end extents in this view to Revit view-specific 2D controls. It does not make a second grid element.

Run Convert Grid 2D

3. Verify the end controls​

Select a grid after the command. Its end control shows 2D, which means the extents can be adjusted for this view without moving the global datum. Move a 2D end only where needed for a clean drawing, then save the R V T.
