track down the grid bubble.

I also found it useful to group the grids in Revit and then copy the group to each

floor, that way it's always easy to find the grid in NW.

I anyone would like my Grid family just leave a comment or shoot me an email

and I'll be happy to send it to you.

Recommend this on Google

Great work! Coordination in Navisworks without grid lines isn't always

easy.

I'd like to try out your 2-pick grid family if you don't mind. Thanks.

We've used a much less sophisticated solution - we just export the grid

from Revit into AutoCAD, then reimport back in. Your 2-pick grid sounds

like it is very helpful. Can you send it to me?

Thanks, Laura

I came across your post today. This sounds interesting. We have been

using NW for 5 years and this would something worth looking at. Is it

possible to receive the family.

Good work

Is there a way we can give the grid location coordinates so when the

search function is used in Design review it moves directly to the indicated

location?

Awesome work! Coordination in Navisworks without grid lines isn't always

easy.

I'd also like to try out your 2-pick grid family if you don't mind. That is if you

have not already come up with a new soulution for 2009?

Thanks.
