Introduction
Use the Split Element Tool to cut an element (such as a wall or line) at a selected point. The Split Element Tool is located on the Modify Panel.

To guarantee that you split a wall exactly on a grid line, just split the wall to the left or right of the gridline and then change the temporary dimension between the split and the gridline to zero. The split will now move to be exactly over the gridline. Refer to the following illustration for guidance.
Fig 2: Split Line Location
Check the results in 3D. You will see that the wall has been split straight through at the specified gridline.
You would use this technique if you wanted to change part of the wall to a different wall type.

Check the Show Grids parameter.
If grid lines are not showing in a 3D view in Revit, you can try the following:
In the 3D View Properties palette, under Graphics, click Edit next to Show Grids. In the Show Grids dialog, check the boxes for the levels where you want the grid lines to appear. In the example above I just chose Gridline 3.
