Black Grid / Revit automation
ShadowGrid¶
A Black Grid add-in for Autodesk Revit that runs Black Grid automation script packs from a dedicated ribbon tab.
ShadowGrid adds a ShadowGrid tab to the Revit ribbon. From it you run automation scripts supplied by Black Grid as script packs — repeatable model clean-ups, tagging, audits and other jobs that would otherwise be done by hand. It ships with its own embedded Python runtime, so nothing else needs to be installed on the machine.
| Revit | 2023, 2024, 2025 — one installer covers every supported year on the machine |
| Windows | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) |
| Rights needed | None — installs per user, no administrator or UAC prompt |
| Signing | Signed with Black Grid's own code-signing certificate; a one-time trust package removes Revit's "publisher could not be verified" prompt |
