7.1.A.2 Acquiring Coordinates from the Linked Model

πŸ’‘
IMPORTANT: When you create a Revit model by importing a Forma proposal, it uses the geo-location to set up a special coordinate system for the project. In order to accurately link your new structural model to the architectural model, you must acquire the coordinates from the architectural model to make sure that the architectural and structural models line up.

Workflow

  • In your new structural model, switch to the Default {3D} view.

    It’s helpful to use this view to be able to easily select the linked architectural model.
  • Open the Manage > Project Location > Coordinates > Acquire Coordinates tool.
  • Then, select the linked architectural model.
  • πŸ’‘
    Revit will report that the coordinates have been acquired from the linked model.
