weird coordinates

so. I'm puzzled.

 

1. Spot Coordinate is at project base point.

2. I create a filled region which I move 200 and 900mm

3. I spot coordinate both pbp and corner filled region.

 

I expect 200mm and 90mm ... 

why do I get 202.82 and 899.37 ??

 

ProjectBP has a angle of 45.09 but that doesn't help me either, perhaps anyone of you guys can explain this to me?Schermafbeelding 2021-02-02 144539.png

Hi,

 

Is it possible the project base point is moved unclipped (before Revit 2020)?

Try unclipping it and right click > move to startup location. (For Revit 2020, move to 

 

Also:

- Spot coordinate is set to Project base point and not survey point?

- Survey point, it's still in 0,0,0? what spot coordinate does it give?

- For Revit 2020 and up make internal origin point visible, what is it's spot coordinate (or set spot type to read from internal origin)

Why wouldn't it read that way? If the Angle to True North is 45.09, then that reading is correct. Those are Coordinates.

You can always change the Elevation Base of the Spot Coordinate to Project Base Point.
