Two Survey points

[eric.guizzetti]

Anyone seen this issue with 2020.1 where you have two survey points?

[ToanDN]

Two triangle icons? Do you have a Revit link?

[hmunsell]

so you have Links in your model? one may be coming from a link.

• VG > select "+" next to link > select Not Overridden
• Check Override Display settings
• select Custom
• pick the Model Categories tab
• under Model categories, pick Custom
• scroll down to Site (select the "+")
• uncheck Survey Point for that  link.

[eric.guizzetti]

There is nothing linked in.

[barthbradley]

Do you mean you are seeing this? 

[eric.guizzetti]

No Links

NO LINKS

[eric.guizzetti]

I have no links in the model. NO LINKS

[eric.guizzetti]

That looks exactly like what I am seeing. Keep in mind I have no models linked in.

Close Revit, open, use Audit and open the file. Warnings? Does Review Warnings have any to report? What coordinates do these icons report when selected? Can you select both?

[hmunsell]

can you upload the file?

[boyd_johnson]

Any solutions to this?  Trying to understand what is going on as I'm finding similar occurrence.  I've removed all links and all worksets.  One Survey Point is noted as "INTERNAL" and the other is noted as "PROJECT".

Is this "INTERNAL" intended to not the internal origin of the original revit file?  

If this is intentional, why in the world did Autodesk not create a different symbol for this third coordinate element?

[hmunsell]

Can you upload the file with the issue for us to look at?

[barthbradley]

Are you asking about the Survey Point's "Internal" designation which indicates the Current Site Name/Zero Origin that the Survey Point's Coordinates are relative to?  

[boyd_johnson]

sorry cant upload the files, it is a secure project.

@barthbradley  yes, it does sound like that and looks similar to your images.  Googling this topic I was able to find what the purpose is for these two survey points.  Sometimes I see two of them in a project, sometimes just the one survey point - what drives this behavior?

Does not appear to be a lot of documentation on this...and why is it not a different symbol?

[ToanDN]

There can be multiple survey points in project, each presents a site location. Two is are the most common: one is Internal site location and the other is a shared site location. However, only one can be set as current at any given time so seeing two survey points in the same view doesn't make any sense.

You can save as to a new file, delete everything and share the file here.

[boyd_johnson]

gone now after a resave and reopen...now I just see internal.

When would more than one survey point show up, after linking other revit files via shared coord.?  The files in questions have been provide by client and are established with lots of elements and multiple links (no longer found/attached).  I'm thinking the additional Survey point was residual from when multiple files were originally linked via a shared coordinate.  

Maybe I'm missing something, but would think I could find more documentation on why there would be two survey points showing.

Close Revit and reopen it again may this disappear again.

[barthbradley]

@boyd_johnson: What I'm showing you in my screenshot is not two different Survey Points. I'm showing the same Survey Point located at different named Site origins. Sorry for the confusion.  A single Project can have multiple Shared Sites listed under Manage Tab=>Location Panel=>Site Tab.  

[boyd_johnson]

@barthbradley  thanks.  I think I need to read up more on this.   I looked at the Location under Site and it only listed one site...Internal but the view had two.   but it went away after a resave, close and reopen.

[hmunsell]

was this the first time it has happened? did it only happen during that one session?

since it went away after a restart, maybe check to make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date....
