I would also like to mention that Revit's built-in Invert Elevation parameter (relevant to site utilities) is relative to the Internal Origin. So the first thing I do when I start a new site model is to rename Level 1 to Sea Level and renaming Level 2 to Level 1 (e.g. Ground Floor). This is in-keeping with your recommendations, but a user could go wrong by adding a new level as Sea Level below the default Level 1 and not realizing that the Internal Origin is still at Level 1 and the Invert Elevation cannot work correctly afterward.
TOP Video👌👌 Thank you! I am BIM designer working for a multinational, and I am using your video to learn how to acquire coordinates from the contractor architectural BIM model. Its a big project, so I gotta understand that right. Thanks a lot!
great presentation. As a designer engineer myself I prefer to have my internal origin aligned with the project base point. this way if I have to relocate my project everything is relocated accordingly and the internal origin remains in logical reference to the coordinate system. other than that great video!
@10:40 - re:"...is if you acquire coordinates from a geolocated DWG file" - What defines a geolocated file? Does that mean a DWG file with Coordinate System set AND a project location defined by a lattitude and longitude? Or is a geolocated file a DWG file with the coordinate system set only?
for Revit civil modeller like me, geo referencing revit model is my daily jobs, but for other discipline it's quite hard to give them understanding how to use it.
You don´t need a sea Level as long you make sure Survey Point stays in N/S 0,0; E/W 0,0; Elev 0,0. This will keep the origin close to the basepoint and you ground floor. The furter away you model elements from origin the more imprecise your model becomes. So always keep origin as close to your model elements as posible. Always acquire coordinates from a dwg with assigned coordinates, ect. from civil. This will be included in exports, and the coordinates will also appars as GIS in an dwg export. Insert the dwg center to center and move it into place. Then acquire coordinates. Always locate your model i Z by using Relocate project.
Hi there ... But when acquiring coordinates from a civil CAD file doesn't the Survey Point move very far from the model and N/S and E/W change values taken from the CAD file?

@@ProfessionalAcc2699 great to hear and good luck! You are always welcome to reach out if you need any help! Www.arch-intelligence.com
Best explanation! I'Ve got it finally!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!
Superb work!!! Thank you for shattering this big confusing box...
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing explanation. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
I know it...but now i understend it, thanx
Thanks for the comment! We worked hard to make it as clear as possible :)
Very Clear thank you. Did I notice you guys are located in Greece?
@@eastudio-K You are very welcome! We are spread globally but not in Greece :)
Best explanation I have ever seen bravo (your web page brought me here) thank you for this, excellent work, am now subscribed.
Best comment we ever got! Thank you, we worked hard to find the best way to explain this complex issue :)

Thanks for the feedback! This is indeed common practice, less recommended for site models but definitely good for buildings.
Dears have a nice day
How to export coordinate from Revit to excel format for elements
@10:40 - re:"...is if you acquire coordinates from a geolocated DWG file" - What defines a geolocated file? Does that mean a DWG file with Coordinate System set AND a project location defined by a lattitude and longitude? Or is a geolocated file a DWG file with the coordinate system set only?
Most probably a Civil 3D file with Coordinate system assigned to it.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
