Revit: Managing Location Coordinates

Explore the Revit coordinate system, how files relate to one another when linked, and how to manage relationships between shared coordinates over time.

Introduction

• Welcome
• Using the exercise files

1. Coordinates Internal to the Project

• Discovering the origin points
• Reporting coordinate locations
• Using project-location tools
• Configuring project north
• Configuring true north
• Specifying coordinates at a point
• Understanding elevation

2. Coordinates External to the Project

• Orienting a linked file
• Saving shared coordinates
• Cross-linking files

3. Working with Multiple Buildings on a Site

• Linking multiple buildings
• Cross-linking multiple sites
• Making sites current
• Copying linked files
• Swapping and updating files

4. Other Linking Scenarios

• Linking large CAD files
• Acquiring coordinates from DWG links
• Sharing coordinates with DWG links
• Exporting to DWG or Navisworks
