Our office is wandering into the realm of Navisworks and while the export from Revit feature leaves much to be desired, there is a much more interesting problem at hand that deals specifically with Revit.
In an attempt to have our Navisworks models align properly, I have began a template in Revit (one for RAC and one for RMEP) that has the origin marked with reference plane intersections. I did one template in MEP and one template in RAC. Here's the issue. Using link > Origin-to-Origin, the results are as follows:
RAC model linked into MEP
MEP model linked into RAC
Why would the origins be in different places in two fresh projects? You may be ready to ask me: "Why not just use Revit's shared coordinates tools?" The answer is that Navisworks does not acknowledge the shared coordinates system that Revit uses. This means that when I create an Architectural Navisworks model and a separate Mechanical Navisworks model, they will not line up.
Thoughts, ideas? This one is definitely frustrating.
