ARCH LINK - Does Reload From take on PB/SP??

My condition: i have a structural model with an Arch model linked in. (i have modeled nothing yet).

Arch has sent new model, new name, newly relocated Project Basepoint & Survey Point
My Structural Template has dummy links provided when i start my project. (for default view templates).
Typically i take a dummy link and RELOAD FROM (and pick the Arch model).

What i want to know is: When i RELOAD FROM..... How does Revit treat the Project Basepoint & Survey Point in my structural template which is 0, 0, 0, 0 and the Project Basepoint & Survey Point coming from the Arch model which is probably using real world coordinates?

Hoping i've made this clear.

Basically, is using dummy links in my structural template (with default view templates) best practice? or should i avoid using dummy links altogether?

David

it depends on how you linked in the arch model. if you used shared coordinates you may need to reconcile, or clear and re acquire.

PB will not change. SP also will not change but if you linked using shared coordinates then there will be warning asking you to do what you need to do.
