Change orientation of a model

[advandes]

I have two separate Revit models: one is an overall arch and the other is a mechanical room provided by a 3rd party. The mechanical room was modeled 180 degrees and 200' away from the correct coordinates to match up with the overall arch. Is there a way to re-orientate the mechanical room coordinates without rotating and moving all the objects? I have already tried selecting all the objects in the mechanical room and rotating them, but I receive a few errors and some of the objects don't rotate. This was due to poor communication from an administrator, and now I have to fix it. Thanks in advance for any help!!! Aaron.

I forgot to add this: I would like to be able to link the mechanical room file into the arch file and have them orientated correctly by origin to origin.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a shared coordinate between a host and a link?

- Link Mech Room in Arch Building

- Relocate Mech link to the proper location

- Publish "Current position" of link instance to link file as a shared coordinate

- You can remove Mech link entirely and re-link it using Shared Coordinate.  It will come in @ the recorder position.
