Anybody know if you can set the Revit Coordinate system to GPS (Lat.,Long).
Say I want to set a datum and then use GPS-camera to establish position from which photo is taken to set up a 3d view for rendering. Tried using google earth ruler but a bit rough. Can Accurender system for city location be incorporated into revit model somehow?

Are you just trying to get your render scene to match your photo?
If this is the case, all i can suggest is by using the coordinates for the position where the photo was taken from, measure out from your model to that position, set the height of the camera, and whether your GPS gives you the direction of which you have taken the picture, rotate camera point to face that direction. If that was you intension, that might work?
from my experience with the location settings, it is set to give you the right weather at the right time of year depending where you are in the world.
