Revit - Missing Grids in Elevation
Software : Revit Architecture
Level : Beginner - Intermediate
Description : So…. Have you ever had the problem where your grid lines will NOT show up in elevations?!?!?! This is of course after you have checked your VG settings and maximized 3d extents, still NOTHING! Chances are the elevation view is not perpendicular to the grid lines. In most cases this makes sense, how is the program going to know where you want to intersect the infinite planes of the grid lines. In this Revit tutorial I establish the point of intersection as the point where the site boundary and grid line intersect. Once that rule has been established, we cover how to create a generic family that is placed in plan and is visible in the elevations. Through the use of tags and parameters we coordinate the naming of the grid to assure they match on the plans and elevations. I think this is an interesting issue to solve and am sure people have options on this so please feel free to post your thoughts or comments on this technique or even whether this should be done at all.

that’s the reason. Revit does not show the axis if they are not perpendicular to your elevation.
Yup, this is a work around. but i must issue a “use at your own risk” disclaimer. I agree with the way Revit deals with this issue. i only posted this 1) as an answer to those having this problem and 2) so one can have the the option to resolve it but being aware of the implications. I think this is an interesting issue so i welcome the conversation.
Thanks
