VIEWS & SHEETS

Grid Bubble.

Toggle grid and level bubbles on all four sides, computed against the active view's own X/Y axes so rotated views still behave.

01 · THE PROBLEM

The bubbles at the ends of Revit grids and levels are tiny checkboxes that only appear when the cursor sits exactly at the datum end — turning them on or off in all four directions means clicking end by end, axis by axis, view by view, and once a plan is rotated to True North, figuring out which end counts as "top" or "left" gets confusing on screen.

Toggling bubbles one end at a time

A 15-grid system in two directions already has 30 ends to toggle individually; each one needs the cursor parked exactly on a tiny hotspot before the checkbox even appears to click.

Rotated views scramble top/bottom/left/right

Once the plan is rotated to True North, "top" on screen no longer matches "top" on the project axes — users have to eyeball the conversion, and it's easy to toggle the wrong end.

No bulk toggle across selected grids

Revit has no "hide the left bubble on every selected grid" command — each checkbox is a per-instance property on that one end, so selecting many grids at once still doesn't batch the action.

Redone from scratch in every new view

Bubble configuration doesn't carry over to a new view or a duplicated plan — that same 30-click routine repeats for every floor plan, section or detail that shows the grid.

What it does

The one comparable add-in on the Autodesk App Store is the free ReviTea Grid/Level, whose Switch Bubbles command needs a Grid, Level, Reference Plane or Detail Line picked as a "boundary" before it will toggle bubbles against it — and its last update stopped at Revit 2017, so it won't even install on current Revit versions. Grid Bubble needs no reference boundary at all — it reads straight off the active view's own X/Y axes:

Toggle bubbles

  • Four independent directions: top, bottom, left, right
  • Computed against the active view's axes, not global ones
  • Applies to every grid and level visible in the view
