Shared Coordinates System in Revit from a CAD File in 5 Simple Steps
#Revit #BIM #SharedCoordinates
In this video, I show how to establish a shared coordinate system from a CAD file. Typically projects require to show at least the correct orientation (angle to True North) and also in some cases the correct location based on a given coordinate system. If you have a CAD file that shows that information from a survey and/or a Civil 3D file, this workflow will help you set up your orientation and location easily.

Thank you, a lot, for the Workflow! I am including it on my next Projects ... !
I've watched quite a few videos and this one is perhaps the best, tks
Been using revit for a while now and I was really good with autocad architecture but this video got the coordinate thing clear in my head. 🙏 thanks.
Thanks ❤
Great presentation, thank you

I very much appreciate that!
Nice to see your insert cad file video, do you have any lesson for creating bridge deck with 3 dimension
Hi Thanks for all the videos and sharing the knowledge with us. Can you please help me to give me a idea what practice should i use when i need to develop multiple revit models of a single site plan. I am thinking to fix center point of each building as their PBP and linking them by shared coordinates. Is this practice professionally good? will it not affect any other MEP contractor while developing their revit models, coordination and finding clashes?
This is far easier if your civil or survey person has set a coordinate zone to the file. After that its just brining in the file center to center unless you want to line it up to the building footprint. Even then its pretty simple
You seem soooo calm .......

Yea you got the asmr shared coords video =)
What could be the issue if the coordinates of the CAD point in REVIT is turned out to be different that what is shown on CAD .
The problem with this solution is that, when you use IFC, you can't import by project base point, you can only import by survey point, and where is the survey point? At 0,0,0, and when you import, the IFC will be at the 0,0,0. Completly off the model. Project base point It's just to mark the building point not the real geographical coordinates of the site of the project.

@JoaoPaulo-cr4th Right! So which workflow do you follow when you have to link an IFC file in order to acquire the shared coordinates? I'm genuinely interested in the topic...🤔
