View Full Version : Relocate Topo to match shared Coordinates

I know this is a common issue but I could not find a solution in existing threads.

I have a building at the correct elevation (Shared) above sea level (FFE = 1256ft). I brought in a 3D contour CAD drawing with contours drawn at the correct "Z" elevation. I generated the topography in Revit and MOVED THE TOPO to align with the existing building.

Now my "elevation POINTS" are off from the correct elevation - they appear to be "Project" elevations.

I have tried moving things up and down, relocating the project, etc. The Level heights and my building are correct as they are.

How do I apply the "Shared" coordinates to my Topo? I think the mistake happened in how I brought in the CAD contour lines (a reference level???). I would like to see if I can fix what have vs. starting over.

LEVEL 2: Shared = 1256 ft, Project = 0 ft

Thanks,
Boyd j.

I think I figured this out...thanks to the video on youtube. I hade to make changes to my project coordinates.
