RE: URGENT - Co-ordinates in REVIT
It would be a great improvement if the spot co-ordinate tool snapped to the intersection of two grids. Currently, we have to pace two separate co-ordinate points and make two "relocate this project" moves to get a grid intersection to move to 0.0. It would also be nice if we could select a point and " relocate this project point to 0.0 "
RE: URGENT - Co-ordinates in REVIT
I just draw a model line from the grid intersection and use that as the snap point for relocating the project.
There's still some more to think about tho... some of you may remember the hashing out of coordinating Revit's and AutoCAD's coordinate system that we went thru at the end of Revit 6's development cycle...
Import an AutoCAD circle drawn at 0,0 into Revit using origin-to-origin. Draw some grids and have a grid intersection away from the circle's center point. Relocate the project so that you move the grid intersection to where the AutoCAD. The circle maintains its displacement from the grids.
Delete the DWG and re-import it, this time linking it and place it using the shared coords option. Relocating the project this time causes the project to move its 0,0 point to the DWG's 0,0 so the circle now lands at the grid intersection.
If you think about it, this functionality is spot-on and makes sense. It forever solves the problem of coordinating AutoCAD and Revit's coordinate systems. The case is closed, and I can harp on something else now ;-)
