Levels Changing

[Anonymous]

With a week to go before issue the architect has decided to change the heights of levels (ie the RL's) The whole building has moved up by 10.6m. When we accept these changes everything goes pear shaped - ducts and duct fittings go in opposite directions, some equipment moves whilst others doesnt and in general the whole model is a mess.

Is there any way of fixing this (preferably quickly).

What we are doing is ignoring coordination and just moving the architectural model down by 10600 within our model, this still causes problems but no where near as many, and we will try and fix it properly after the issue date. Of course the architects aren't happy about this and are (as always with architects) trying to blame MEP.

The fact that the duct and duct fittings react differently is the biggest problem and something that IMO needs to be fixed ASAP within Revit as it has caused problems before as well.

Architects seem to have no idea how bad it is to change something major like that, especially last minute.

Most of you objects are based on the "Level" that you create, and some are "Hosted" to a face.  The items hosted to a horizontal plane such as a ceiling are probably moving up or down with the architect's model.  The others will move with your levels.  If you have the time, try selecting everything, filter out the horizontal hosted items, and move your model to match the architect's.  That's the best I can come up with.

Good Luck!
