acquire link location

Hi all. I have a problem when working with bim 360, it does not recognize me when a link is inside another.
Since for example, file (A) has inside (a1), (a2), more revit files, like bim 360 it doesn't recognize me when the link structure is large. I want to know how I can do to link each link as individual and that they match in location, I thought with coordinates but I do not have coordinates. I appreciate the help.

What I have now:

What I need with a fair location:

My question is what is in the RVT a1, a2, a3 and RVT b1, b2, b3. If those are suites, you can easily make them as groups and link it as one or you have different plan of action?

Link the "Master" Project (the one you are going to Link your Project into) into your Project, move it to where you want it in relationship to your Project elements, and then Acquire its Coordinates.  Save.  Now they Share Coordinates.

When opening the project, do you get a message saying that those links are set to overlay and won't be displayed?

Thank you all, the problem is not in revit, it is in bim 360, so I wish that each time there is a way to take the coordinates where a link is found, so when I make a new master, they fall into the exact location.

Link the Project into yours and Acquire its Coordinates.  You can remove the Link afterwards.

That has been explained but you might have to do quite a bit of work to get it to work. 

You might need to apply those steps to each one of the models. This kind of information needs to be established in the BEP. There might be an established workflow for this project so that you get the correct coordinates.

...another way: enter the x,y and z Coordinates of the Project Base Point directly or use Specify Coordinates at Point.
