Importing non geo-located Revit

Is there a way to import non geo-located Revit file into geo-located InfraWorks model, created with Model Builder? I want to place some Revit model to analyze views, but I can't achieve that, my model is not visible, but it is loaded according to InfraWorks.

Try using the INTERACTIVE PLACING option and set the model's coordinates to CENTER 2D (0,0,0).

Hi @rade_tomovic,

 

@Matt__W's reply is your best bet. There are other options that give you similar results in that same dialogue, but will not get you as close depending on the model extents.

 

The reason you do not see the Revit model when IW says it is imported; In Revit, the model base point is typically 0,0, and your IW model is using a real world coordinate system. These typically tun into the millions. If you go to Application Options [by your name/pic]> View tab> check Automatic zoom to selection> Right click-select features on your model in the Data Sources panel, you will be taken to where your Revit model is found.
