how to move a revit model vertically

[Anonymous]

how can I move a revit model vertically in a section ?

[Anonymous]

Use moove command and check constrain in the top right corner

a window shows telling me that some of the objects are going to be deleted, and then some of the objects are not moved with the rest

it si probably pinned or locked. Try to unpin it in the modify table, or unlock (press on line or related annotation, press on lock)

• if you want to move a number of model items or annotation items , then make them groups ( separate for model and for annotate) and then move them with Move tool
• if you want to move the entire modeling then you can use Relocate Project : Manage >Position>Relocate Project

[constantin.stroescu]

you have to pay attention to them model elements that are Level dependents or Face based...You will need then to redefine the Work Planes or to Pick New Host ...

Question:

1. Are you moving the whole model ...absolutely everything?
   • If yes is this because of the LEVELS not matching survey or something?
     • If yes you might want to look into resetting project base point ...moving it clipped virtically will move your whole model

i have tried to use the relocate project but it doesn't give me any movment !

I am moving the entire model because it doesn't match my surveying coordinates, indeed. how can i reset project base point?

Where do you want to see the change? the reading on the Level datums I assume...by default they read with respect to Project Base Point...so when you move it they reading is the same...

When you want to relocate the project with respect to the survey point ie: the project need to be ex: 1 meter higher from sea level ...you need to lift the project base point (clipped) 1 meter higher... to see the difference (ie: the level of your floor to sea level) you need to set the level datum to read from survey point (considering that the survey point is at 0.00 sea level...

You need to duplicate level datum and make them refer to survey point...A minute and I will upload a screencast

Edit: Usually on any project both types should be there

For each floor set 2 level datums (one to Base point with layouts/views) and (one to survey - without corresponding views) assoiate them with visibility filters. then you can switch between both when required

NEVER, NEVER use Move command to move building model vertically!

Of course, this doesn't apply on moving furniture and similar elements that will not break you construction.

Everything in Revit is attached to something (Level or Reference plan) so you need to have that in mind.

If you are moving your model vertically you will move your project base point.

So, turn on the project base point. This is "the zero of the model" and it represents the building.

On the other hand, there is a Survey point which represents the "World" (yes, planet Earth 😉 )

So, I imagine that you need to "move" everything up or down for some value. Your Zero level should be for example +1,1m, not 0,0m.

What you will do is next:

- unclip your Project base point and

- enter the new eleveation value.

Level 0,00 is where the project base point is.

- Clip the project base point.

Be carefull, if you enter new elevation value into your Project base point while it is still clipped to the model, then the whole model will move. Moving clipped Project base point moves the model, while moving clipped Survey point moves the world below the model.

Hope it helps.

@RDAOU

yes indeed on the level datums 😄

@Mirko.Jurcevic
can you show me how to do that in revit 2016 ?

[Anonymous]

@Mirko.Jurcevic
where can i find the project base point in revit ?

[RDAOU]

check screencast on previous post page 1 😛

DO NOT UNCLIP ... unclipping relocates the base point not the project!!!!

@Mirko.Jurcevic watch out what you suggest!!! ...have you been relocating all your projects like that? unclipping Project base points????

If your project was modeled 5 meter lower than where it should be...you uclip relocate PBP and all is fine?

Here is a screencast showing moving an entire project up using the basepoint.  I move the whole project up 2456mm  by altering the basepoint and then go and change the level indicators to use the survey point as a reference and report the height.

Do they have vacancies at Autodesk? lol

Try to read my post carefully...

It depends what do you want to do. If you want to change relative height of the building levels, you will move the PBP unclipped. If you want to change it apsolutely, you will change PBP clipped.

With that in mind I never had a problem doing it that way.

Thank youuu works fantastiic 😉
