Moving origin point

Hi,

 

Brand new to revit. We had a deadline due on Thursday where I was at least able to model the waste piping for a four story office building. Unfortunately it looks like I used the copy center to center option when linking the achitectural model into my project. How can I fix it to align with the origin to origin option? Also how can I make origin to origin the "default" so that I don't accidently do this again?

 

Thanks

Good lesson to learn for the future, do not use center to center (c-c) or shared coordinates (i've had an architect who messed up bigtime and created headaches by using shared coordinates, she did it without anyone knowing it until i found the problem). You have to
1. remove the other revit models, (i would create some placeholder reference to something in another person's model, to know the original location of it)
2. load them back as origin to origin (o-o)
3. move your stuff over to the right location (your stuff is not in the right location unless somehow c-c was the same as o-o), you should know the original location of the reference item from your placeholder in step 1
4. tell everyone else to remove your model and relink it o-o.

Noone should manually move anyone's model to "get it into the right place" if everyone is o-o. If people move models around manually, they won't see the same thing on the same place as others doing it correctly.

Just curious, how is the deadline is on thursday and you just started working in revit? I would like to hear this story if you don't mind.
