Point cloud misaligned on all projects

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I have an issue with my Revit projects. After opening my current project today I noticed that the point cloud is no longer aligned with the model. It has been moved on all 3 axes but not rotated.
I tried loading (using shared coordinates) older versions of the point cloud as well as opening older projects, and they all have the same problem.

The project I am working on will be shared and collated into a larger project through BIM 360, so I can't just move the reference points.

The problem started after working on a different shared project with a colleague, which had a similar alignment problem. But I don't know what could have changed so that all my projects would be affected.

Here is a screenshot highlighting the issue:

Thanks in advance!

Have you inspected/compared with your Backups?

Yes, I tried various backup versions and it's still the same.

Did you resolve this "alignment problem" you mention above? What exactly did you do -- and TRY? Can you remember the steps?

sadly this will not help your issue, but just wanted to make sure that when your point cloud is inserted that you have it Pinned in place? Correct?

I would even go so as to make the workset locked so only one person can edit that workset.

I know this may sound silly, but I got to ask: Are you sure it's misaligned? Your screenshot shows green lines. I'm assuming those are Model Lines.  If so, they look like they are accurately placed.   Could you have simply not saved and lost some Model Lines you placed above those Model Lines? I can see where that would make me think the PC was moved.

Yes, I'm sure they're misaligned. The red arrows indicate the offset between the model and the point cloud.

I had a few screenshots where it was clear but I couldn't attach them to the original question for some reason.

We didn't actually find a way to solve it. He had a project that had the point cloud already attached. His issue was only happening when trying to insert a newer version of the PC.

He 'solved' it by reloading the latest version of the project and working off of the PC that was attached to that. 

My problems appeared after opening his project on my workstation.

My best guess would be that there are some global preferences that were overwritten when I opened his project, but I couldn't find anything like that.
