Hello everyone,
I come with a question regarding setting up the shared coordinates, and more exactly the elevation. To take you through my steps, I am setting up a Revit file that is the site file and will be used as a reference for the shared coordinates.
1. I import the CAD file with the correct geospatial coordinates. It is imported at a significant height compared to Level 1 and the origin elevation by default.
2. I acquired the coordinates from the CAD file. The survey point is moved very far from the original location.
3. I move the survey point unclipped to one of the points of our site of interest, according to the coordinates we have, so I get accuracy with the real-world coordinates. I clip the survey point at the end.
4. I set the project point to match the survey one for convenience.
So until here so far so good. But now I want to set the level 0 at the desired height, which is to match the survey point and the project point height. If I move the level, it moves the whole linked CAD file it changes its position and asks me to save the new position back to the CAD file. Obviously, I don't want it as my intention is to coordinate everything according to the original CAD file position and its coordinates.
Therefore, can anyone tell me if there's a flaw in my workflow or how you usually approach this situation of elevation when you have to work with big plot sites and real-world coordinates?
Thank you!
