Just Starting so this maybe a TOTAL easy question here:

I had basically 2 levels started, drew major gridlines. Then realized that I needed a 3rd level, garage & roff level, so I added them. Then I saw that I needed intermediate gridlines so again I drew them in. Now the question...

Why do my major gridlines showup on only the 1st & 2nd levels (elevation heights respectively also) and minor gridlines show up on all levels, and major gridlines do not show up on my "afterthought" levels? I thought they were suppose to update automatically?

Grids have 3D extents.  Go to your elevation views and make sure that your grids and levels intersect each other properly.

Follow attached example.

 

You can also right click on a grid and maximize the 3D extents.

 

For better free help check out the DGCAD Revit lessons on grids and levels

Tom Want a crack at another Newbie Grid Question???

What do I have to do if certain number of my gridlines what to show up on only certain levels and not others? i.e. If I had a half basement and only half my gridlines need to show in the basement but the rest of the levels need to "see" the entire grid?

The simple answer is to adjust the grids up to the level above where the basement does not occur.  The grids may have to be unlocked to move them independant of the others.  Click on one and then click on the blue lock icon near the grid to unlock it from the others.  

Another solution is to hide the grid in the view.  In 2008 right click on the grid and choose 'Hide in View' 'Elements'  This needs to be done on a view by view basis though.
