Copy elements from one file to another with different coordinates

[nicolasagustinap-iwan_926a]

Hello, we are having trouble efficiently copying elements from a survey model into our project. Both have been aligned accordingly, but the survey point and project base point are not in the right place. The survey model was created in space, while our project was modelled at the origin (0, 0, 0) and we can't seem to get them to line up without changing our model (and the linked projects) to match the survey.
I've attempted to copy and paste from the clipboard and copy from the base point, but even the true north isn't correct. Any advice to bring the information into our project?

Thanks,
Nicolas

Copying? Copying how? Via the Clipboard? Copying/Pasting to/from Clipboard is a  Windows thing using the Internal Origin -- not a Revit thing using Shared Coordinates.   Depending on what you are copying/pasting, Clipboard will work if Copying/Pasting directly between Projects that are Linked/Shared.  In that case, you would just Paste to Current View.
