On a sheet, click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Guide Grid and name it. Snap each viewport's grid line or crop edge to it, and apply the same guide grid on the other sheets. Drag view titles until a dashed line appears.
Or, just ask Mira, a free add-in, to line up plans across a run of sheets.
How to do it in Revit
Step 1: Add a guide grid
Open the sheet and click View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Guide Grid. In Assign Guide Grid, choose Create new, name it, and drag its extent controls to cover the drawing area (Autodesk Help: Align Views on a Sheet).
Step 2: Set its spacing
Select the guide grid and set Guide Spacing and Name in the Properties palette. The line style comes from Guide Grid on the Annotation Objects tab of Manage tab › Settings panel › Object Styles.
Step 3: Snap each plan to it
Select a viewport, click Move (MV) on the ribbon, and snap a grid intersection or crop edge in the view onto a guide grid line. Revit only snaps to datums parallel to the guide grid, so arc grids and angled reference planes won't catch.
Step 4: Use the same grid on every sheet
On each other sheet, click Guide Grid and choose Choose existing, or set the sheet's Guide Grid property. Change the grid on one sheet and every sheet using it updates; set it to None to hide it when you're done.
Step 5: Save the position (Revit 2026 and later)
Select the placed plan and click Modify | Viewports tab › Positioning & View panel › Save Position. Assign that Saved Position to the other plans in the Properties palette, before or after you place them, and they land in the same spot (Autodesk Help: View to Sheet Positioning & Automated Placement). Edit Position moves them all together.
Step 6: Pick what lines up
View Anchor on the same panel decides what aligns. View Origin, the default, lines plans up with each other and ignores the crop. Center or a corner keeps the crop box in one place on the sheet, and the view shifts if its crop changes.
Step 7: Line up the view titles
Drag a view until its title lines up with another title on the sheet; a dashed line shows when they align (Autodesk Help: Align View Titles on a Sheet). Select the title (in Revit 2025 and 2026, the viewport) and drag the blue controls to set the length of its line. From Revit 2027.2, titles and their lines also snap to crop edges, the title block and guide grids.
Step 8: Pin them
Select the viewports and click Modify | Viewports tab › Modify panel › Pin (PN), so nobody nudges a plan out of line.
What to watch for
Same scale, or no match. Two plans line up grid to grid only when they're at the same scale. Check scales before you align; see how to scale in Revit.
A guide grid doesn't hold anything. Revit creates no constraint between the guide grid and the views, so a plan moved later stays where it's dropped. Pin the viewports once they're in place.
Keep titles put. Turn on Preserve Title Position in the viewport type, and a view that's swapped or moved by a saved position keeps its title where you placed it.
Move views between sheets without losing their spot. Select viewports, right-click and choose Move View Aligned to Sheet: they land in the same place on the target sheet. Select them in the Project Browser to move views from several sheets at once.
Legends can share a position too. A saved position on a legend moves every placed copy of it to the same spot. See how to create a legend.
Plans drift as the set grows. Twenty floor plans placed by eye sit a little differently on each sheet, so the building jumps around as you flip through the set. Fixing it means opening each sheet and snapping each plan again, and doing it once more after the next round of changes. That repetition is what an AI agent for Revit can take on, with you approving each move.
Or, just ask Mira to do it.

- Type this in Mira
Line up the floor plans on sheets A-102 to A-106 with the plan on A-101.
Mira reads where the plan sits on A-101, checks each other sheet's scale, and asks before it moves anything. It writes a small tool to move the viewports, which asks Allow first, reads each position back, and names any sheet it skipped.
