Wrong level when importing revit link and ifc

Anonymous

I have drawn an Architecture building in Revit. I drew it With 1st Level on 0. Then I created a separate site file With two coordinate systems. One With global coordinates, and one With 0,0,0 point. I then linked my building into the site With the correct rotation and lifted it up to 2500 mm (1st floor), then published coordinates back to the linked file. Everything seems correct. I now have a building file and a site file, both With two coordinatesystems, and the buildings 1st floor is now placed at 2500 mm.

Then I got the revit file from the constructional engineer, With the same survey point and Project base point placed at 0,0,0. When I link this in it comes in the correct position, but 5000 mm. higher than my model. When I go into a section the Level 1 says 2500 on both models, but you can see that the link is placed 5000 mm. higher. How to fix this. Is it my model or his that is wrong? What kind of check list do I need here? Does it have something to do With shared coordinates? Cant be that either because the coordinates are correct, but the height is not.

I don't understand your workflow. What do you mean by: "Then I created a separate site file With two coordinate systems."?
