Hello all,
Do you know any way to place a family in specific coordinates(X,Y,Z) in a project using Revit ?
Thank you in advance!
you can do it either :

Or I guess you could also add dimensions with global parameter labels for x-y coordinates on some level to some zero point. Or you could even build offset coördinates into your family.
This is what I am trying to do, to create inside the family the X and Y distance from the 0.0 point of the family. But when I place the family in the project the 0.0 of the family not correspond to the PBP of the project.
Thank you.
You should be able to just align/lock a family to any point/refplane/grid...
I make the calculation in Revit (Coordinates family - Coordinates project). After I import the family in the project and manually I put the cross (0.0) from the family to the PBP.
Sometimes I have negative values in the calculation results. Is there any way the direction of the coordinates in the family to change directly?
Thank you in advance!
You could use a nested work-plane based generic model family with some model lines (for coordination purposes, with visibility parameter) and use the offset constraint both for positive/negative values, or controlled by the main families parameters.
..and another way , this time , by using Dynamo:

Hello,
I am trying to do it. How is it possible to add also the degree factor? The PBP has an angle and also the families have an azimuth.
Thank you.
