Objectives
• Survey Point• Project Base Point• Set up Shared Coordinates• Shared Sites and manage Locations• Single building sites• Multiple building sites
![Page 5: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
AutoCAD Ruined us!
• Does Revit have a 0,0?• YES!• Where is it?• About right there…

Project Base and Survey Points
• Revit projects do not have AN origin… • They have TWO origin points!
![Page 7: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Survey Point
• The Survey Point is the coordinates in the World • It is “shared” by all buildings on the site• It defaults to 0,0,0 • You CAN move it!
![Page 8: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Project Base Point
• The Project Base Point is the local “Internal” coordinates• It is used ONLY by the building• It should match the building form and layout• You CAN move it!
![Page 9: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Internal and Shared Coordinates

Positioning Tools
• Mirror Project• Rotate Project North• Specify Coordinates at a Point• Report Shared Coordinates

Locations and Sites
![Page 12: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Single Pair of Files
• Create two files: site and building• Create building geometry with convenient orientation to sheets
• Link building to site• Link center to center• Move and/or Rotate the linked file
• Establish the shared coordinates• Duplicate or Rename the shared Site• Save
• Cross-link• Link by Shared Coordinates
![Page 13: The Revit Theory of Relativity: Understanding Shared Coordinates](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568130a8550346895d96ad6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Multiple Files
• Create three or more files: site and building A, Building B, etc• Create building geometry with convenient orientation to sheets
• Link building A to site• Link center to center• Move and/or Rotate the linked file
• Establish the shared coordinates• Duplicate or Rename the shared Site• Save
• Repeat• Create additional shared Sites
• Cross-link• Link by Shared Coordinates
