They say don't compare Revit to AutoCAD, well, this time I have to. I don't see it anywhere in Revit, but AutoCAD has an option to snap to a drawing grid. As I am dimensioning these 1/4" plans and I am thinking it would have been a big time saver to set the project up with snaps to at least 1/4" increments when placing walls. Lots of 1/256" - 1/16" dimensions. Am I just missing this?

I've never seen anyone go down as low as 1/4" but that doesn't mean you can't (although I don't think you'll enjoy that experience).Bettisworth North
