Moving Entire Building and Annotations

[jlogue394887]

I'm working in Revit Architecture 2008. The project includes two buildings on a single campus. We began the model before receiving the survey. The Revit file contains both buildings, each has its own grids, geometry and other annotations. Now that we have the survey, we cleaned it up in Autocad and imported it into revit. Now we need to move one of the buildings into position on the site. See attachment. I have tried selecting everything in 3d then plan and moving but no luck. I tried to aquire coordinates from the Autocad, and repositiion the project but both buildings move. Is there a way to get around this? I'm starting to think I need to save a copy, delete one building and then link the new file into the old one and position it that way? Would this be the best option?

Thanks for the help.

I think that you've offered the best solution. They seem to be quite separate buildings anyway, so I think it would be logical to have them in separate files even if you didn't encounter this issue.

This is why I have my building and site models separate. I can link my buildings into the site and move them around however I want to, then save that information with Shared Coordinates.

I do the same. Can't tell you how many times I'm ask to rotate or relocate one of the buildings... Not to mention that breaking up a campus into separate files reduces a file's size making the whole project much more manageable as a project's data accumulates.
