In some cases, the file may float above the ground, so ensure you zoom out to determine it if that is the case. Move to Display tool shifts the target Revit or CAD feature layer to the current display extent and places it on the surface of the ground by default. Once you have your area of interest, you can create a bookmark for that location. Locate tool to search for an area using keywords related to the approximate location where the file should appear in the view.
This speeds up the process, and you can add the entire file once the georeferencing is complete. When georeferencing a Revit file, add only a single feature class, such as Walls or Exterior Shell, and not the entire file. If it was not created in Revit or another CAD package with a proper coordinate system, choose one of the options to define where the file should appear in the map. If the drawing was given coordinate system information when it was created in an AutoCAD product, assign the appropriate projection and the CAD file will draw in the expected location. To move a Revit model or CAD file, use theĭefine Projection tool on the Building tab. To determine the units of the selected coordinate system, click Details and view Linear Units.
