When I switch back and forth between true and project north, they flip in sync. So far, so good.
The site is large and there will be several different buildings on it. Since topo files are usually heavy, I want the topo file to be a link, so that each building team can load or unload the topo as needed. The site is a long rectangle in shape and points almost true north with the short side on top. I want the long side to face project north which means a 90 degree rotation. Again, in the topo Revit file, everything works fine.
The trouble starts when I link the topo into another Revit file. First of all, we are using Revit server for three project teams. The teams will be in NY, KY and FL. To save the topo on the Revit server, it has to be workshare-enabled, so I enabled worksets.
One of the buildings on the site will be the Administration Building. I made a new Revit file for that and saved it on the server. Just to be sure everything is in sync, I linked the Acad survey into the Admin file. I now have the survey in both the Admin and the Topo file. When I linked the Topo into the Admin, it comes in in the rotated project position, while the host Admin Building remains in true north position. I have been struggling to get the two in sync with no luck.
Any suggestions?
