    Default [General Question]origin/source of a revit file

    Is there any way that I could find out the source/origin of a revit file?

    I downloaded a revit file from a website. I kind of want to know who made this file because I need to ask a question about a connection part of the system. Once I know who created/worked on the file I can email him/her.
    What I see when I click on the properties of the file is my PC name.

    Thank you.

    type VG to bring up the Visibility/Graphics overrides. Under "Model Categories" tab, at the bottom make sure "Show categories from all disciplines" is checked. Now scroll down until you see "Site". Expand it, and check both "Project Base Point" and "Survey Point".

    Thanks, but what I see now is that project Base point -shared site, and the angle to true north. I don't see any person's name or something. Did I do something wrong? I would like to know the person who created the file I downloaded.

    Thank you very much.

    My apologies, I thought you meant the origin point of the Revit file, not the origin of who created it. Sorry, that's above me. Hopefully someone else here might have a solution for you.
