The short answer is that it gets more complicated than my brief summary implies when the building gets moved on site after all the models have been shared with each other.<br /><br />My follow up post describes how to cope with that a little differently assuming trades belong to separate firms. A single firm can cope a little better and I've described that at the end of the new post.<br /><br />It should go live at 8 PM tonight...assuming I get it finished by then :)<br /><br />http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2016/11/multi-discipline-shared-coordinates.htmlStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-62829660091638384992016-11-04T12:08:37.950-07:002016-11-04T12:08:37.950-07:00Thanks for the break-down Steve!
In the multi-disc...Thanks for the break-down Steve!<br />In the multi-discipline comments you state that "It is only necessary to use Acquire Coordinates IF there IS an expectation that your data must align in 3rd party software like Navisworks" This makes sense to me in that, if you initially linked in the architect's model origin-to-origin, your model will be positioned correctly with respect to the project regardless of any real world coordinates. It sounds then like, as a sub-discipline, if I link origin to origin and acquire coordinates I should be safe for both revit and navisworks coordination. I'm curious about any actions by the architect after this point that would make my project out of alignment. What happens if they move their buildings or somehow change the shared coordinate system? Can you speak to this at all?<br />thanks<br />AlexAlex Brunettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-19320399575982131052016-08-16T01:37:38.201-07:002016-08-16T01:37:38.201-07:002 Great Posts Steve.

When I checked the resulting coordinates in the file against the same location in the DWG source file they were different. In the most recent releases however I haven't found this to be true. I don't know if they have fixed something or not but when I've attempted to replicate the issue I have not been able to.<br /><br />2) In using this method, does the entire team need to use shared coordinates when exporting to Navisworks in the settings or would it just be the arch?<br /><br />Yes - Anybody that expects their model to be able to align with other models in Navisworks will have to specify Shared Coordinates if they export to a compatible format. If the Navisworks user just Appends a RVT model directly they can specify Shared Coordinates themselves, assuming they've been established at all.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-33248046870194658652015-06-30T19:44:48.075-07:002015-06-30T19:44:48.075-07:00Two questions.

Really enjoyed these two posts...You are creating a third-party model (master site) which may not be even shared with consultants, but it is present to organize other models' locations and relationships. Everything being controlled in the master site which is already matched with the survey file.

It would quite a trick to only move some of the house in that context.

When you move Tiny House A to its new location near the boundary, how are you doing that? Are you just doing a window select around the house and doing a mv? <br /><br />In the past when I have tried performing a similar task, some elements of the building were "left behind" and since then I have been a bit gun shy in trying it again.Greggnoreply@blogger.com
