I originally set the model up via origin to origin. Then was informed the project would start using shared coordinates. First I acquire coordinates for the architectural linked model. Then I turned on the base point and survey point and both architects and my model. I entered the coordinates in my model to match the architects for the base and survey. I saw my model shift/move after entering the numbers.
My question is , how can I tell if I have done this properly. It looks like it is lining up with the architectural linked model but how do I know for sure? Is it just a visual check? Is there a way to turn on a linked models base point in my model so I can compare? I thought I had done this before but now when I look in Revit links > Custom > Model Categories > Site, I do not see base point or survey. I had to open the architectural model by itself to view the coordinates.
Thanks
As long you link it Origin to Origin and Acquire the coordinates from the architectural Model (the Survey Site point) are 100% sure Aligned.
Now, For the Project Base Point, Each model have his own and it doesn't align to each other. If ever you need to align your Project Base point to the link Project Base Point, you need to open the Architectural model turn on the project base point and insert revit or an autocad symbol or model lines in X to act as a link Project Base Point. But usually you don't need to, since you are going to copy monitor Levels creates their views and for the Grids i guess it is (Optional) and then you work on that area.
Does this answer your question, or do you have any additional information.
