VIEWS & SHEETS

Datum 3D.

Return every grid and level in the active view to the shared 3D extent — datum ends realign with the model extent.

01 · THE PROBLEM

After customizing 2D extents across a batch of views, issuing the drawing set means putting those same grids and levels back on one shared 3D extent — miss one and the datum length mismatches from sheet to sheet, one of the most common QA findings right before submission.

Resetting every grid and level to 3D one at a time

There is no bulk reset — every grid and level that was switched to 2D earlier has to be selected individually and hit with "Reset to 3D Extents" or the same tiny 2D/3D grip.

No checklist of which elements are still stuck on 2D

Before issuing, there's no quick way to list which elements haven't been reset — the mismatch only surfaces from manually comparing datum lengths across printed sheets.

Resetting also reshapes other people's views

Because the 3D extent is shared across the whole model, one person resetting a handful of grids can quietly reshape the datum ends in a colleague's structural or MEP plan, with no warning before the click.

The reset routine repeats every issue cycle

A project with several issue cycles means the customize-then-reset loop repeats every time, and each pass is a manual, from-scratch pass over every grid and level.

What it does

The same ReviTea add-in has a "Trim/Extend Grid 3D" command to switch back, but it still needs a reference boundary picked and hasn't been updated since Revit 2017. Datum 3D needs no boundary and no per-element selection — it puts the whole view back on the model's shared extent in a single click:

A

Change the extent

  • One click, no window
  • Datum ends sync with the model-wide extent
  • Pairs with Datum 2D to switch back and forth
