The Building changed Position and as such its coordinates

jjjoao2 — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 15:16:36 GMT

Hi there,

I started a new project of a buiding on a georeferenced site and this building was modeled in the same file as the site. (no linked files here).

I was working in a very premature phase with the structural and hydraulics engineers. So, after presenting the plans and 3D images to the client, i was asked to move the builing to another position but the concept was approved.

After i moved the architectural file and passed to the engineers so that they could fix their drawings, we notice that the drawings didn´t match. The architectural drawings was not on the same origin point as the structural and hydraulics.

My question is, how can i fix this problem without resorting to a linked file so that my architectural file can be on the same place as the structural, hydraulics...?

Attached an example.

Regards,

Linking and Acquiring Coordinates would be the simplest way to reconcile. If you want the hardest way to reconcile, then use the Specify Coordinates at Point tool and manually enter the new Coordinates.

Hi @barthbradley , i know that linking and acquiring coordinates is the simples and probably the best way to work but i must say that i have been experiencing some difficulties in exporting relevant information from the linked model to the parent file.

But thank you very much for your help.

Tell me, the specify coordinates at point tool, does it work with the site as well as the image below?

An example: The previous study was projected on Site A but then, for some reason, we had to change to site B.

Sorry, I'm not understanding. The Project Base Point has no relevance here. This is only about the Survey Point.

You say above that you "moved the architectural file". What do you mean by this? What exactly did you "move"?

@barthbradley , can you explain how does it works?

I pick up the 3d model and just....moved...

Can you explain how should i do it?

After you move the architecture model you can link Struc and Hydraulic model also in it and publish architecture coordinate to Struc and Hydr model it's simple way. that i have understand from your post if i have miss understand in point could you clarify it
