DFrame module 11 · Structure
Grids & Levels
for Revit.
Read datum information from linked IFC or Revit models and create coordinated grids and levels in the active project.
Included in the complete DFrame toolsetProblem and approach
Why Grids & Levels exists.
Grids & Levels accelerates project setup by reading datum information from linked Revit or IFC models. Preview the available grids and levels before creating coordinated elements in the active model.
This reduces repetitive tracing and provides a clearer review step between received coordination data and the project’s own structural setup.
Input to result
Grids & Levels, step by step.
Three decisions that move the task from source information to a result ready for review.
- 1.
Select the linked coordination model
- 2.
Review detected grids, levels and naming
- 3.
Create the approved datum elements in Revit
Controls
What the module lets you inspect.
A faster and more consistent Revit datum setup based on reviewed coordination information.
Read datum information from linked models
Extract grid and level information from a selected linked Revit or IFC source without manually tracing coordination geometry.
Preview grids and levels before creation
Inspect detected names, elevations and datum extents before new project elements are created in the active discipline model.
Generate a reliable project structure faster
Create the approved datum set together so project setup begins from reviewed coordination information instead of repeated drafting.
Best suited for
Who benefits most.
- Teams starting discipline models
- BIM coordinators aligning project datums
- Engineers working from IFC references
