Help I found out today that our model is in the wrong location. When I was inserting our autocad grid I used the option center to center. Now I found out that we want it to be from origin to origin . the reason for this is when we export our revit dwg to autocad we want it to be at the same 0,0 as our consultants. What is the best way to move the model

Thanks

Try this video. It discusses how to create a 0,0 origin point in Revit.

Once you've set up the shared coordinates in the Revit file (either with 'Specify coordinates at a point' or 'Acquire coordinates'), be sure to set 'Coordinate system basis' to 'Shared' under DWG Export Options. That way, the WCS of the exported DWGs will match the shared coordinates (which will match the WCS of your grid DWG, etc....).
