I tried this very recently after reading a tip from David Conant on the subject and I could not get it to function correctly.
I import my Survey (which is metres) Making sure the view is set as project North. I then rotate and align the survey to where I require it to be in relation to my building.
Then I Aquire coordinates from the linked DWG file. Revit DOES get the true north and project north correctly from my survey drawing - but it just will not correctly get the co-oridnates??
When I use "specify cooridantes at a point" or whatever, it is nothing like what it should be???
Am I doing something wrong or does Revit not actually aquire coordintes from a linked dwg file at all? If it worked as it was described to me it would be an amazing tool, at the moment I just can seem to fathom it out all?
Just thinking about it - is there any difference when specifying coordiantes whether I have project or true north selected? or will the coordiantes be the same which ever I have picked?
