Rotating objects in a project

Hey,

 

I am currently working with a point cloud inside of revit. But, The point cloud comes into revit in a geospatialy correct position. Therefore, it is skewed and not near the origin where you would normally model in revit. I need to be able to rotate my project without actually changing the position of my objects.

 

I use CAD alot as well so the best way to describe this would be, in CAD, being able to set your UCS to an object, and then later on reseting your UCS to world.

 

The main purpose of all this is to be able to bring my floor plan into a sheet without it being rotated to the same orientation as the Pointcloud.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rich

Sounds like you need to establish Project North and True North. Do a search on that.

rbutkus714,

there are 2 ways:

1. Set project coordinates in "Manage" tab - "Project coordination"

2. Manually move Survey point on Site plan

I can write a post on my blog about coordinates in Revit if you need this information.
