Coordinates system between revit and infraworks

[lygking]

Dear people,

I have some structure models from Singapore.

When I imported to the infraworks, couldn't find anything.

I set the 'Geolocation - Coordinate system' to 'LL84' which same as WGS 84.

But, not appeared any models. It seems like the difference of coordination setting between revit and infraworks.

Please let me know why.

Hi @lygking,

it's very unlikely that a Revit model has Lat/Long coordinates.

Try to use XY-MM or XY-M and select "Interactive Placement" in the bottom.

Regards,

Karsten.

Just drop it in manually. Dangerous, 'infra wise'  Is it  the normal procedure Revit 4 civil?

Hi @hanslammerts,

there are different methods to place a Revit file into InfraWorks.

See following two screencasts that describe workflows in detail:

• Best Practices for Bringing Revit Models into InfraWorks 

• Stay on Point! Using a Shared Reference Point across Autodesk Products

For information, InfraWorks 2018 had an issue regarding the automatic placement of Revit files, they came in almost at the correct location, but the models had a small rotation and offset.

Regards,
Karsten.

I couldn't find the correct coordinates system which used in the Revit.

But, I found models when I changed to other coordinates.

Maybe, not went to the correct location. In any case, I cannot input correct coordinates. Missing.

Thank you for your tip 🙂

The coordinates system is very complicated...
