For a beginner this video is perfect and give a clear and concise understanding of the topic. In reading other people's comment there are other ways or more advanced features. This is common to a lot of CAD softwares anyhow. Great job I learned a lot just like all your other videos thank you!

[@shatabdisinha6779]

This video is awesome.. keep posting revit videos

[@ilonandrianto]

Thanks balkan architect👍

[@yarasaoud]

great. thank you so much

[@ImAPakistaniGuy]

Thanks really useful video, thanks

[@syedatiqabbas5036]

Great sir I love you

[@ammarahmad9733]

Thanks very much

[@ibrahimhamza6408]

Shared coordinates is a simpler, faster way. Anyway, great job BA.

[@leomesorada493]

thanks BA

[@mosholombi]

Thanks BA

Have a question: do i need to set the levels of the individual buildings as per the site level where it will be placed, or will revit automatically adjust the height in the level markings as per the elevation input of the survey point?

[@mengruisong1479]

HI! Thank you so much about the tutorial. Id like to ask what if just modify the base point after link the models, and then update the link, will the model be in the right place?

[@handiwoodman1659]

Would setting up True north instead of modifying Project north be a better solution?

[@charlesmwaba1138]

Can you please do Tutorial on the revit site designer plugin?

[@itatabisine6250]

Hello there! Thank you for the video. I have noticed that you have rotated building B and C in accordance with the site plan, which we have assumed that the bottom of the site (boundary), is horizontal. What happens if building B and C are working files, as in, you are documenting them as a stand alone project? You need them to be perpendicular to your title sheet? Wouldn't it be better to rotate the site plan (in this case, DWG file), align it as you need it with your building, than allocate base and survey point? Now, once you import the file (building B and C), into your site plan, than rotate them against the base point (in your case, bottom left corner of the site).

[@mahdiajalil]

actually u should use shared coordinates.

[@txjuris]

I assume when we have a site plan with 50 different structures, the site plan file becomes very large. Is there a danger of exceeding computer memory limits?

[@semion1379]

what happened to: 1.open new file 2.link the survey cad file 3. aquire coordinates 4. link revit model 5. place the model where you want + change its elevation 6. publish coordinates to the link revit model 7. do that for all models then, use the shared coordinates option for cross linking?

[@caingianni4678]

you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

[@jakemaxton1714]

@Cain Gianni Instablaster :)

[@caingianni4678]

@Jake Maxton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@caingianni4678]

@Jake Maxton it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@jakemaxton1714]

@Cain Gianni No problem :D

[@eastudio-K]

if doing cds for building A, in building A's file, how do you show the site around if its in another file?

[@danielpapaj6204]

How to create IFC with this Project together ??

[@psbenedict566]

Hi How to export to cad. if I do it is exported into separate file what should I do

[@amoltamhankar924]

Who to mek building co ordinate schedule?

[@HazarGulhan]

While working on this kind of linked revit files, it is not possible to get a clean .fbx export for rendering. Does anyone found a solution for that? Since I am using Revit lt, I am also unable to use plug ins.

[@l3utterfish]

In preparing the base poits of B and C, shouldnt you rotate the terrain, instead of the houses? Imagine B and C have to continue designing the houses...

[@benzonjhermogeno]

He disoriented elevations on original he need to reorient it also.

[@Rain2bird]

When I use this method to line up the model with the topo, the model has turned into an angle. Now it is on the sheets also on an angle. How can I get the drawing straight on the sheets?

[@dallasproctor5671]

Did you get an answer to your question? I'd like to know how it's done

[@wrighthausracing9641]

Mess with plan north

[@dijitalmimar7270]

Hi! How can I set these heights on the site plan without opening the source file?

[@yutikashindolkar9547]

did you figure this out? I have the same doubt

[@sunjaymishra9654]

Hey can u make a tutorial on how to model bhutanese cornices in revit

[@Ahmed_Eladawy]

Wrong approch as selecting all the building canot be done with complex building insted use shared coordinates :)

[@aethelwolfe3539]

Who the heck do you make shared coordinates work when your CAD site survey plan is ten million miles away from zero zero zero?

[@romanreunov]

Try to make *.IFC file for each model and than open all of them in any IFC viewer. You will see how this method is wrong

[@rasmusandersenabildgaard4604]

Hey Thanks for a great tutorial! What if i got 6 "A-building". 3 "B-buildings" and 2 "C-Buildings".... all buildings are different places and different heights... Do i need to have multiple revit files for each separate buildings??

[@yutikashindolkar9547]

did you get your answer? i currently have the same doubt

[@fadifadi-ug5cp]

Sure, you have to save as your buildings "N" no of times. Then, modify coordinates for each project.

[@aethelwolfe3539]

No, you can have multiple instances of the same link. You would only need a building file for each type of building rather than each building.

[@d_sharmasharma7753]

@@aethelwolfe3539 i would like to know how to do that. Is there any video describing it.

[@HoraceHingCheungPoon]

I am in the $5 and $15 Tier. Where are the file for this Tutorial?

[@balkanarchitect]

The files are up :)

[@ArZakirAli]

fantastic.. and avoid unnecessary "kind of" repeating word

[@likedbymeku8464]

Can I use revit file worked in apple ios pc in windows pc??

[@balkanarchitect]

Only on Windows

[@dolgorsurenkhongorzul1163]

my furnitures is nor rotated XD

[@gravijiga]

I wish these tutorials were more succinct. This is a quick task stretched to almost 20 minutes. Why not give the long drawn out explanation THEN repeat the steps quickly at the end with a time stamp

[@lafleur_]

is it legit using an Autodesk student version to gain money with KZbin and Patreon?

[@iadtag1853]

As long as you're a student, no questions asked. ;)

[@colby4390]

Is the software making you money? If so then you are in breach of the EULA.

[@benzonjhermogeno]

He doesn't have a penny to buy that's why he's here youtubing

[@jmblkhair7827]

I believe the "Student" version is intended to be used by both students and instructors alike. As far as the agreement is concerned, I think it just pertains to generating income as an architect/draftsperson/engineer, etc. . . Not as an instructor . If I'm wrong, then I apologize.

[@strategy4406]

I' m first)))

[@goetzfrank4090]

oh,oh..... never ever import CAD... big boo boo....

[@aethelwolfe3539]

Link CAD instead, that way nobody hits explode.
