# Create an automation for grids

> Proposed Revit example

## Overview

Define origin, axes, spacing, count, extents, and grid labels. Separate the fixed naming rule from the values that change between projects.

Build and inspect one grid layout, then repeat with different spacing. Check intersections, labels, extents, and the treatment of existing grids.

## Example request

```text theme={null}
Create orthogonal grids in the sample project from this origin. Use five axes at 6000 mm spacing in one direction and four at 7500 mm in the other. Label them A–E and 1–4. Report existing naming conflicts before changes.
```

## In Ideatura

1. Open a New Chat and provide the sample model, target and rule.
2. Ask for a short plan and resolve missing inputs.
3. Build the smallest useful version and inspect the native result.
4. Expose the varying values as parameters; save and test a second run.

## Check the result

Sample model → tested grid layout → saved parameters → second layout and duplicate check.
