HOW TO RELOCATE REVIT MODEL IN NAVISWORKS

[eomega5DEMF]

In our Revit model, we set Grid A-Grid 1 to 0,0,0 which is also the location of our Project Base Point and Survey Point as per company's project standard. When we finished our Revit model and 2D drawings, our counterpart appended it in Navisworks Manage, they use Units and Transform to move the model to its desired location.

Now, my counterpart decided to move the structure 50m to east. I used Relocate Project Tool in Revit to easily relocate the project and to minimize 2D drawings rework. After updating the Revit model, I replaced the old rvt file in our server. But when my counterpart Refresh the nwd file, the updated rvt model still land in the same location as the old model.

Is there any method on how to relocate Revit model in Navisworks Manage that is already Override Transformed? We are using Revit 2018 and Navisworks 2023.
