I want to create 2 grids. One for a new building using circle heads; and one for an existing building using polygon heads. These have independant structural systems that must connect- the existing building is a major renovation- Seems like revit cannot have two grids; two A's, or Two 1's with different grid heads? Is there a workaround for this?

Grids can't have the same name. No phase attached to grids. No work around using the grid tool. Try referance lines.

Yes, you can have two of the same grids, IF you put one on a "Design Option" I just did it on a job about a week ago. Just search the help files in Revit for "Design Options" , its pretty straight forward. (then make sure your floor plan is told to "show" your new design option.

Yes with design options you can "temporarily" generate grid line that would appear to give you the look you want. You will find this approach limited. At some point you will have to accept one of the grid lines as the final "design". At that point you will be back to stage one. Avoid this mess and just have a unique name for each grid line.

Although it's not intended to be used this way, you don't ever have to accept a design option. I've just finished a prototype that has two design options in it with two different structures. They bot share a lot of common space but then I have "working" drawings for each option. I've not tried the different grids as asked about in the original question so I will be interested in hearing if mgr282o gets this to work with options.

We decided to resolve this issue by creating two Revit files - one for existing and one for new. To link the files together just make sure your origins are coordinated. I did this by linking the master cad file to the Revit file using the "origin-to-origin" function. Then I centered the revit views on this new position before building the models. This allows any cad reference to always be centered in the correct position..and adjacent buildings can be modeled in other files and linked Revit-to Revit.
