### 3. Create a building mass

* Create a Revit mass

{% hint style="info" %}
Finch accepts **mass families**. Objects that are in the same mass will be boolean unioned upon upload. Check the **`Massing`** tab in the Finch plug-in to see how many Finch valid masses you have in your file.
{% endhint %}

### 4. Add grid lines (optional)

* In the Finch plug-in, add gridlines using the Revit grid tool.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can snap to gridlines while editing or while generating around a custom core.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When generating a floor plate, slide the **`Grid Lines`** weight fully to the right to prioritize it.
{% endhint %}

### 5. Upload

* In the Finch plug-in, select **`Massing`**.
* Check **`Active in view`** to only upload geometry that is visible in the current view.
* Select **`Upload Massing`**.
* The plug-in will display **`Uploading Mass Finished`** once the mass has been uploaded.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to learn how to upload multiple masses, you can read our guide on it here: <https://docs.finch3d.com/first-steps/upload-your-first-building-revit/all-about-revit>
