Hi!
I am working on a project which will contain various Revit-models for several buildings and multiple disciplines, the project will also be working in different softwares, Plant 3D, Tekla, etc. and who knows what softwares will be developed while the project is ongoing.
They want to be able to move around buildings during the project, at all times, including when the design has come very far and drawings have been made. The way I saw the approach was to set up a Site-model and link every Revit-file into this one with Shared Coordinates System, and then move the link and push back the new coordinates to each corresponding Revit-File. This makes the moving and coordination between the Revit-files simple, and also possible to coordinate inside of i.e. Navisworks, with global coordinates.
However, this "changes" the Internal Origin and Project Base Point inside the original Revit file, and makes linking the Revit-IFC into, for example Tekla, or other coordination programs such as Solibri, difficult, when all Revit-models will have different Internal Origins and Project Base Points.
So the other approach is for the designers to "simply" move all the elements and objects inside of Revit (and other softwares).
Does anyone have a better solution to this? At the moment the "solution" is that all the designers will move the objects inside their software, instead of messing up all the Internal Origins because that may cause more headache further down the road.
Alt. 1, Move the coordinate system which "moves" the building in coordinates, may cause difficulties linking IFC-files
Alt. 2, Move the elements inside of the models, highly likely to cause a lot of problems, but will be fixed with time(?)
Alt. 3 ?????
I would really appreciate some opinions on this!
