User-Friendly Features
The plugin comes with a pre-loaded family that has a vibrant red material applied, ensuring visibility and clarity. This material is also transferred to the exported coordination file, enhancing coordination efforts across different platforms. Additionally, the plugin includes a type selectable 2D annotation, allowing users to customize and annotate gridlines according to their specific requirements.
One of the standout features of this plugin is its user modifiable parameters. This flexibility allows users to tailor the plugin to their unique needs, making it an indispensable tool for both coordination teams and detailing crews. The ability to work with your own family, as long as it meets the required conditions, adds an extra layer of customization and convenience.

Seamless Integration and Automation
When using the "3D Gridlines" plugin, inserted 3D gridlines are automatically placed on the "Shared Levels and Grids" workset (if available) and pinned in place. This automated process saves time and effort, ensuring that gridlines are correctly positioned without any manual intervention. The plugin's seamless integration with Revit's existing framework makes it user-friendly and compatible with established workflows.
Conclusion
The "3D Gridlines" plugin is an invaluable tool for professionals working with Autodesk® Revit®. Its ability to simplify gridline coordination, improve visibility, and enhance customization make it an essential plugin for any architectural design team. Whether you are part of a coordination team or a detailing crew, this plugin will undoubtedly streamline your workflow and help you achieve precise and accurate results.
With its user-friendly features, seamless integration, and automation capabilities, the "3D Gridlines" plugin is a must-try for Revit users. Take advantage of this powerful tool and revolutionize your gridline coordination today!
