Revit link units between models

HI, using Revit 2021 on Windows 10 pc. 

Ive built a site model that includes topography and neighboring building masses. The model units for the site model were in meters in order to ease the process of building the topography. I now want to link this model into a main design model that will be defined in centimeters ( level plans etc) . when i link my context model into my main model the levels of the meters are defining the new project and my elevations are very far from one another as seen in the photos. any help would be much appreciated . Thanks in advance.

Move the Link down and Share the Coordinates. Optionally, you can copy the Link's Levels (via Copy/Monitor) to the Parent Project - or just turn 'em off. 

 

BTW, if you copy them, they will change to use the Parent Project Units.

Units difference between models doesn't matter as long as you model them true to size. Now, just unpin the topo link, move it down to match the building and acquire coordinates. That should be all.
