My boss once told me he’s not a big fan of grids. I get it. Creativity doesn’t come in boxes. But as a Revit user, the sooner you can get a grid going the better. The way Revit introduced 3d grids and levels 25 years ago... it was just so cool.
And yet, the Hampshire Churches map I’ve been working on for two years didn’t have a grid until last week. To be fair, it’s a map. Essentially 2d. Grids are at their most useful for multi-storey projects.
It happened by accident. I was playing with Grok (as you do) and it sent me to Open Street Map. Google Maps has been great for pointing me to photos of the individual churches. But OSM has better maps, and they have grids.
So I’m using OSM for today and a Scottish Libraries website for 1900. Alignment is tricky because the 1900 maps don’t have the grid. But I’m getting there.
