    Red face Property lines from coordinates list

    Hi

    i'm sure someone has the answers to this...

    we derive our site plans in AutoCAD from a coordinates list , as attached.
    for eg. point 1 is located by using the east and north coordinates( not bearing )

    How do i draw these property lines in Revit?

    thanks in advance!!

    Enter the points you have in your table into Revit. The east and north coordinates.

    I don't understand either how you enter the coordinates from a list like the one you posted

    Property table requires distance and bearing so it won't do what you are asking for. What are the units in your table? Looks metric, yet your image shows feet. To sketch it in Revit comes down to knowing where 0,0 is. It is roughly the center of your elevation views (default template).

    You can sketch a short model line, then use Tools > Shared Coordinates > Specify Coordinates at a Point to define 0,0 at the endpoint of a line. Once you have that you can sketch other lines to define where each point is located finally sketching a property line from point to point.

    or....you could use AutoCAD to sketch the point locations and link that into Revit...
