I am loosing it perhaps. I have read countless threads on how to get this right and I am missing something crucial I think.
I have a building model that has the survey point (SP) and the project base point (PBP) set up to correspond to how I though they need to be based on the threads I read. Both were moved while pinned. Nothing is linked yet. The SP is 161'-6" below the PBP and a certain distance west and south. Project north is 38.7483 from true north. The Survey Point is at 'Sea Level'. I though it need to do this so that my topo link would come in correctly in regards to sea level.
I have a survey file with contour lines in ACAD that I essentially hand made. It has polylines at certain levels in regard to sea level.
What are the correct steps to get so I have linked topo model that I can update that links to my Revit model? Am I going to deep having the SP and PBP in different locations? To be honest the difference between the SP and the PBP is (apparently) lost on me…why am I moving the SP it in the first place? I generally understand the Pinned vs Not Pinned movement of each but how then that relates to where and how linked files comes in is got me turned upside down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hive read and reread this post: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=105452
