Link Levels Different

[Anonymous]

So I am working on a project and my levels seem to line up with the architects levels, however the actual number for the elevation is different, for example TOF, the lowest elevation is -1219 for the link and -1221 for ours. The next level up is title FF for us it is set at -1, the architects is 0. Any suggestions to have them match, or thoughts as to why they would be different when they were copy monitored?

Different Elevation Bases?

Im not sure what you mean by that, I am newish to revit. It may be what my
thought was but I wouldnt know how to discover that in the program.

Levels have in their properties a parameter called Elevation Base.

Ok thank you, I will take a look and see if adjusting them all by 1 will
fix the issue!

You don't "adjust" the Elevation Base. The Elevation Base references the Survey Point or Project Base Point.  I just providing a possible reason they are different from one another.  

...if both Linked and Host levels align properly, why do you need the Link's levels visible in your project?

Is your model perfectly lining up with the link model?  Did you acquire the shared coordinates from the link?

I am not sure, I came into the project after it started. The engineer in charge of me wants the actual elevation values to match those of the architect however they are off by one

Sorry the architects model does line up with ours, and the levels are copy monitored they are just different numbers despite sitting atop one another on the screen.

Check if Project Base Point is the same in both models--same for Survey Point.

Again: Levels have an "Elevation Base" Type Parameter. If the Levels are physically lining up, then the Levels are obviously referencing a different "Elevation Base".  To confirm this, simply  go into the type properties of your Level and toggle the "Elevation Base".  Betcha they will read the same then.
