Revit 2024: How to enable snapping when working with “specify coordinates at point” tool?

 

In the screenshot below, I couldn’t figure out how to snap to the corner of the building in order to “specify coordinates at point”.

Revit snaps normally to the corner. But it does not display the blue dot. If you draw an auxiliary line from the corner, and then try again, pointing to the start point of the line, you will see the blue dot. The coordinates will be the same, with or without the line.

Right. Zooming in will show a blue dot for snapping

It actually does, but you're right because it's so small that effectively it doesn't.

 Can we see the dot? No? Well look harder (Revit devs probably). Seems like these dots get smaller every year.
