Hi,

 Currently in my revit project if i move my grid lines on my floor plan to fit on my plot sheet and around dimensions, etc. the grid lines will also move on another sheet such as a setout plan or reflected ceiling plan.

 I have tried unlocking them and editing the properties, however have had no luck in moving the grid lines within one plan view.

If anyone knows how to help it would be much appreciated :D

If you need to fit your grid bubbles onto your page, you can turn on the crop region, and/or annotation crop.   You can then suck them in closer to the crop region manually if you'd like, without altering their real locations.

You can adjust the grid datums and make them 2D. Just click on the 3D that appears at each end of the grid. Setting them to 2D essentially makes them a view specific graphic allowing you to move the ends on a per view basis. You can then propagate the extents to other views if necessary. This is exactly what happens to the grids when you do as alterego suggested.

The difference being if you use a section to control this, you lose the ability to propagate the extents should you need them on other views, plus you are cropping your view and may have to mess around with a annotation crop region.

You also cannot make the dataums as long as they are cropped.

Either way is perfectly acceptable...just making you aware of options.

What I would suggest is reading your help file by searching "Grids" and read the topics that com up.

Also, search for "Crop Regions" to read about what alterego was talking about.
