Mon, at 3:52:52 PM | How do I move Model to align with linked Architect's model? I want to be able to set the project base point at a specific location (say Grid intersection A-1) in my model, so that when I export, the floor plans align to the proper location. So when I export, the floor plan is still at the same offset from 0,0 in cad. Everything I have done keeps the project base point at the same relative position to my model. I really need a way to move the project base point. But this has not adjusted the project base point, so when I export to cad or navisworks, the two models do not align with each other. I should add that I can aquire coordinates, and then relocate the project, and get it to look right in Revit. I have read everything I can on the coordinate system.

Read these topics in your HELP as a starting point:Īlso, download AUGI Edge - Winter 2010 - There is a good article titled 'Revit's Shared Coordinates - A tutorial' Mon, at 3:08:17 PM | How do I move Model to align with linked Architect's model? I sure hope someone knows a better way to do this.

We always resort to physically dragging the linked model over to line up, which I hate doing.

We have be using revit for years, and never figured out how to make this work.

I don't understand why it is so difficult to do this. So the relative difference between the arch model and my model stays the same. All it seems to do is move the origin point around, without actually moving my model.

I have tried every combination of the 'relocate project' tool. I want to move my model so that when i link origin to origin, the two models line up properly. When I link the Revit model into my model, it is nowhere near my model. Now the architect has given us a Revit model. So I have a project where we started it based on cad files from the architect.
