Mastering Revit Project Setup: Using Geolocation Coordinates and Real-World Elevation for Precision

#revit #architecture
In this insightful Revit tutorial, I delve into the intricacies of project setup, geolocation, and real-world elevation integration, and much more. Unlock the potential to accurately position your models within their geographical context. Discover how to leverage project base points and survey points to establish a precise reference system for your designs. Learn how to incorporate real-world sea level elevations into your projects, enabling accurate analysis and visualization.
Whether you're an experienced Revit user or just starting out, this video will provide you with invaluable techniques to enhance your project accuracy and efficiency.

The best practical video on georeferencing on Revit in youtube, great job mate.

[@SergioBarata]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[@user-rb5gk7um5t]

This is the correct Video for Project Setup. you have explained everything in this and very easy to understand. Thanks for the Video .

[@SergioBarata]

Thanks!

[@rksudera]

Too Good!

[@SergioBarata]

Glad to help.

[@SergioBarata]

Hopefully, this video helps you get started - let me know if you have any questions 👇

Thanks nice video, 2:46 why at that corner only u choose to locate the survey base point ?

[@SergioBarata]

It could be any corner. I chose that one because it’s closer to a right angle…it’s an obvious choice to help with tutorial comprehension. You can even cross check all corners if you want.

Nice video Sergio as always. Good trick with inserting dwg on the current view so you're avoiding to bring 3D dwg into Revit. And later on you're doing topography from list of points. Practically your zero value is at sea level, also for project base point so I am curious how you set later the building to have two types of spot elevations with relative and apsolute values?

[@SergioBarata]

Thanks! Do you mean the Elevation Base Ht - where I change from Project Base to Survey?

[@ghattasaf9683]

that's nice described, why did you move back survey point into the project ? is there any problem leaving it at 0,0,0 ?

[@SergioBarata]

Thanks. I moved because 0,0,0 is not the survey point of the the project. It’s important to get a real intersection so the coordinates are correct.

[@civilpro9537]

Sir sorry for confusion, 2:48 u said survey point "Uncliped" but u r dragging with "cliped" as it clear showing 0,0,0 while doing ......

[@SergioBarata]

I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion. 0,0,0 is not an indication that it's unclipped. The video shows that the survey point is not clipped when it's moved.
