Issue to acquire coordinates

Hi,

 

I've got a problem when I try to acquire coordinates from a linked model.

 

I tried thoses 3 positions for my linked model and then acquire coordinates:

Internal Origin to Internal Origin and Center to Center: internal origin is ok but the project base point can't get the right elevation.

Project base point to project base point: internal origin isn't at the right elevation but the project base point is ok

Do you know if I did something wrong when I imported the coordinates or if you have some solution. 

 

Thank you

If I understand your question you also need to move the DWG source "up/down" so that the contour information corresponds with the ground floor elevation of your building model. For example, if my survey file has contours beginning at 200 ft I would move the site survey file "down". If the intended ground floor elevation of the building is 202' I'd move the survey file down 202 ft so that the intended contour elevation for the ground floor level is aligned with the Revit level element at zero. Then when I use Acquire Coordinates Revit will adjust the Project Base Point elevation offset relative to the shared coordinate system. This enable levels to either report their actual elevation (Survey Point) or project elevation (Project Base Point), if you change the Elevation Base parameter for the level accordingly. The spot elevation annotation can also show the information relative to either.

This solution is fine with a linked DWG but here my source is another Revit model.
