Get endpoints of gridlines visible in view

[Jonathan_Drachenberg]

I am trying to access the end points of the gridlines visible in a given view. It’s easy to access the 3D endpoints of the grid from the Grid.Curve property, but as far as I can tell, the Revit API does not have a property or method for accessing the 2D endpoints. This makes it difficult to place grid dimensions at a consistent location relative to grid bubbles across all views.

Is anyone aware of a workaround solution to this problem?

Have a look at this thread, i suspect it will interest you very much

Change the Curve that determines the 2D extents of Grids in Each View

Here an updated code compatible with all python engines import clr import sys pyEngineName = sys.implementation.name import System clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DSGeo from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import * #import Revit API clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB #import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo) clr.AddReference('RevitServi…

Thank you!

I also found the .GetCurvesInView method hiding in plain sight, and it does exactly what I want. Not sure why it took me so long to find it.

For those looking for a quick answer to the same question, this will return the 2D curve from a grid in the active view:
Grid.GetCurvesInView(DatumExtentType.ViewSpecific, doc.ActiveView)
