Problems with orientation and position of import from IFC

When importing an IFC file, the model is not placed in the correct position and is also not oriented correctly. However, when I load this model into an IFC viewer together with an IFX export of my Revit project, both are in the correct position and properly oriented, so it seems that the coordinates given with the IFC file are correct. How can I import this IFC file at the correct position in the Revit project?

 

Thanks in advance.

I’d start by checking the shared coordinates. Are they set correctly? Second guess - an incorrect Coordinate Base in the Geographic Reference option of the IFC Export setup

I think the coordinates in the IFC export are correct because when I load the model into the coordination model in BIMcollabZoom, it is loaded in the right position. 

Is it possible that the problem arises during the import into Revit?
