Tackling file positioning issues rationally and
conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional
file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit
users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host
model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants
to acquire a thorough understanding of
structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he
has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP
model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model
does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do
not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to
center-to-center positioning.
The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by
them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be
tackled once the file is imported in the model. Revit also shows a dialog box
which stipulates that it is incapable of getting the centre of imported
geometry in the current project. Actually every project that is worked out in
Revit has internal coordinate system of its own, which is not familiar to other
projects.
When Revit users work on a project which doesn’t
include linked files in it, in that case they do not need to be cautious about
anything related to sharing coordinates. That is because they don’t have to
deal with the geometrical positioning of any linked model. On the other hand when multiple files are
liked in a project understanding their geometrical positioning becomes
extremely important. So to favorably tackle geometrical positioning of linked
files in the host model, it becomes highly significant for them to share the
same coordinates. In other words same coordinates are shared for the linked and
the host model so that their mutual positioning can be properly understood by
the users.
Shared coordinates must be secured or procured from a single file by users. Coordinates
can be defined for all the other files by that file alone.
