NWD/NWC not aligning with revit model when importing as coordinated model

Hi there, I have tried to place my nwc/nwd in coordinated model, and upon insertion it flies way off the screen. I can still see it but it is not falling on top of the building. 

 

My PBP coordinates are equal to the architect and I have exported 3d views and brought into navisworks to confirm and they are aligning. 

 

Is there anyone who knows or may be able to assist? 

 

Using Revit 2020.

you have to use shared coordinates and be sure it's correct across the files

it looks like one was made using a Coordinate location and the other may be at the internal origin (0,0,0)?

 

Where did the Coordination Model come from? 

What are the coordinates of your building?

I've used shared coordinates to import.

After acquiring coordinates of PBP I exported to navisworks to confirm location and they both fell on top however, I don't know if it makes a difference to the little values that are different between them here?

 

I've had a recommendation to transform the location coordinates in navisworks? But I'm not sure how to go about that.

I've fixed this issue now.

I'm not sure why the values are out a bit they align in revit now.

Can you explain your process for transforming location or changing any parameters in order to move the Navisworks file to the desired location in Revit?
