Shared Coordinates in Revit Explained | Environment for Revit® Video

This video tackles the complexities of Shared Coordinates in Revit, helping you avoid common pitfalls and ensuring seamless collaboration. Watch this to learn all about Shared Coordinates in Revit, and understand various topics such as the introduction to shared coordinates, the different coordinate systems, local datum, Revit's reference points: Survey Point, Internal Origin, and Project Base Point, setting the location in Revit, and finally, using the "Set Coordinates" feature. This is our comprehensive summary of shared coordinates in Revit, to help you master BIM collaboration!

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariachizhova4613]

Best explanation! I'Ve got it finally!

[@Arch-Intelligence]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!

great presentation. As a designer engineer myself I prefer to have my internal origin aligned with the project base point. this way if I have to relocate my project everything is relocated accordingly and the internal origin remains in logical reference to the coordinate system. other than that great video!

[@Arch-Intelligence]

Thanks for the feedback! This is indeed common practice, less recommended for site models but definitely good for buildings.

@10:40 - re:"...is if you acquire coordinates from a geolocated DWG file" - What defines a geolocated file? Does that mean a DWG file with Coordinate System set AND a project location defined by a lattitude and longitude? Or is a geolocated file a DWG file with the coordinate system set only?

Best explanation I have ever seen bravo (your web page brought me here) thank you for this, excellent work, am now subscribed.
