  4. Objectives • Survey Point • Project Base Point • Set up Shared Coordinates • Shared Sites and manage Locations • Single building sites • Multiple building sites

  5. AutoCAD Ruined us! • Does Revit have a 0,0? • YES! • Where is it? • About right there…

  6. Project Base and Survey Points • Revit projects do not have AN origin… • They have TWO origin points!

  7. Survey Point • The Survey Point is the coordinates in the World • It is “shared” by all buildings on the site • It defaults to 0,0,0 • You CAN move it!

  8. Project Base Point • The Project Base Point is the local“Internal” coordinates • It is used ONLY by the building • It should match the building form and layout • You CAN move it!

  9. Internal and Shared Coordinates

  10. Positioning Tools • Mirror Project • Rotate Project North • Specify Coordinates at a Point • Report Shared Coordinates

  11. Locations and Sites

  12. Single Pair of Files • Create two files: site and building • Create building geometry with convenient orientation to sheets • Link building to site • Link center to center • Move and/or Rotate the linked file • Establish the shared coordinates • Duplicate or Rename the shared Site • Save • Cross-link • Link by Shared Coordinates

  13. Multiple Files • Create three or more files: site and building A, Building B, etc • Create building geometry with convenient orientation to sheets • Link building A to site • Link center to center • Move and/or Rotate the linked file • Establish the shared coordinates • Duplicate or Rename the shared Site • Save • Repeat • Create additional shared Sites • Cross-link • Link by Shared Coordinates
