Align survey northing easting to revit model

[shobaika]

I have a pipe penetrating a wall of a building. A survey was done on the outside of the building. I would like to make sure that the pipe from the inside matches with the location from the outside. Survey is a CAD file with the correct orientations, however my Revit model isn't aligned to it. How can i make it work?

You can move and align the CAD to your model and acquire coordinates.

When I link the CAD file, i get this message: geometry in the file has extents greater than 20 miles...

[ToanDN]

Link it in center to center and ignore the warning unless you facing geometry/linework distortion afterward.

[shobaika]

I linked it center to center, but I cant see it in my model since its kilometers away

Okay so you might need to open the DWG in AutoCAD and delete the geometry faraway from the project area. Do a zoom extent to check them relink it in Revit

I would use Specify Coordinates at Point for this.
