    Question Positioning Revit Model Vertically in Google Earth

    I created the topography of our site, and to make sure that I positioned the building correctly, I created sea level at 0 and the levels of the building at their actual locations above sea level.

    I am trying to export our model into google earth, but it appears to be floating way above the site. It is automatically importing google earth location information at level zero (sea level).

    I know how to adjust the model horizontally (in the x & y axes) but not vertically in the z axis. Does anyone know how to do this without me having to change all of my levels in my Revit model?

    Thanks

    in the same boat. I've been playing around with this most of the morning and can't get the z axis to change even if i move the model. tried import the KML file and moving it but that didn't work either.

    Have you guys tried making sure the shared coordinates of the model is at the correct elevation?...not sure if that would be the problem, but might be worth trying.
