Grid

Description:
Represents a single grid line within Autodesk Revit.
Remarks:
A Grid is a DatumPlane, so it is actually a three dimensional surface. It can be either a plane parallel to the project z-axis, or else a cylinder whose axis is parallel to the project z-xis. [!:Autodesk::Revit::DatumPlane]
