Revit Shared Coordinates Simplified- CADtechSeminars.com

[@EricMatzke]

One of the best videos on the internet. You have no idea how many people move links manually…

[@dusanstevic89]

Now that's what I call a clear explanation. Thank you for making this video!

[@CADuniversity]

Thank you!

[@mohammedabdulaleem5715]

Thank you so much.... Excellent explanation.......May God bless you and give you more success....

[@ralphhh8833]

One of the best Revit videos on the internet 👏🏻. Thank you!

[@instert94]

"when you do this to the model it's gonna be like whhaaaaat"! Great video! Thanks for the elaborate explanation! Stuff (ofcourse) still applies in revit2024

[@joshuaabrahambelita4306]

The best explanation! Thanks!

[@angiexoxoxoxo]

Thank you so so much, wonderfully explained!!

[@CADuniversity]

Glad I could help!

[@ymau12345]

Thank you, the video explained shared coordinate very clear. I wish you will produce another video showing how to deal with rotated building. (i am not sure if it possible to draw building in vertical & horizontal format under separate file, but link it to the site plan and rotate it there.)

[@Sawnaylinthu]

Very clear explanation. Thanks a lot.

[@zeynepakn3499]

So helpful! Thank you.

[@supermavie]

it worked for me! thank you! I just have one question, how come the project base point and survey point of both files are different even though they are aligned?

[@CADuniversity]

It depends on what option you used when you linked in the file and what point system you used to align, Check your shared coordinates also.

[@Gyroskop]

Great video! Moving the PBP från the Project Origin is something people consistently do in videos on KZbin. However I have strictly been advised not to to do that since it will unnecessarliy offset linked IFCs. Also seems like Autodesk now has removed the option to unclip the PBP since revit 2021!

[@levihealeyfurniss]

Good video!, thanks for taking the time.

[@hpt08]

Try this with BIM 360 :-) great vid btw!

[@Sid00101]

Thanks, clear tutorial and to the point (shared coordinates point) (sorry bad joke lol)

[@xikes]

What if the linked RVT file is supplied by a 3rd party and is still a work-in-progress, therefore keeps changing and being updated? This would have to be done each time, there is a new version of the linked file. In such case, I don't see any particular reason to use shared coordinates, as the next time I'll be linking the file, it'll be a different file with no saved positions.

[@Zippie_Chippie_XD]

hello, do you have seminar for Revit Family Creation?

[@songsngamla5500]

good one...

[@otsentaykwatro]

thank you for sharing this

[@ThanaponBuamongkolChannel]

Great tutorial.

[@HippieP629]

I like it. But what if B and C are actually existing buildings linked in where their coordinates are fixed? Does publishing from A TO B and C change their locations in their models? Thanks

[@kencolgan5510]

Mark P there are lots of ways to link files using different coordinate systems. Probably the best way to go, is to make copies of the files and play with the different options and note the results. I use very simple buildings in the video because the concepts sometimes are hard to wrap your head around in all the scenarios. One option that I did not mention in the video that may work for you, or using saved coordinates. You can actually move a building around the site and have Revit retain or remember that location. I currently do not have a video on this topic posted to KZbin. You may want to Google shared coordinates and saving shared coordinates and you may find an answer.

[@kencolgan5510]

Mark P another way is to just link the file into the host drawing set it and it's correct location. And then pin it. Go to the other file and do the same thing. You can have the files LinkedIn moved around and pin them in different files for different situations. They do not have to be sharing a coordinate.

[@bettifield]

Thank you.very usefull

[@AECCENTRIX]

very clear thank you

[@yassinsafieh4481]

Thank You

[@morojr2912]

Thanks

[@Elirenn]

Since RVT 2021 there are better worklows. Points work a bit different. Project base Point has no longer a clip.

[@CADuniversity]

Thanks. Good Point. I will look into revising this video soon to incorporate the new adjustments in Revit.

[@danielkrajnik8627]

7:45 that's... not good

[@gabrielepiacentini9277]

It would have been very useful if you explained what the internal origin is.

[@CADuniversity]

Sorry, When this video was created, the internal point was not available to the user in Revit as it is in the current versions.

[@gabrielepiacentini9277]

Actually the internal origin point has always been available. The only difference between Revit 2020 version and previous releases is that in the latter it was invisible. In order to find it you just need to select the project base point, unclip it, right click and click on the option “go back to original position”. That is the internal origin. What I suggest is to draw a cross with 2 reference planes and pin it so you always know where it is in the model.

[@CADuniversity]

@@gabrielepiacentini9277 good point! - pun intended :)
