It is critical that for every project, you are deliberate in how you locate these points relative to your building and that everyone on the project team is using the same locations for their coordinates. At the end of this presentation you will: • Understand the 3 different points inside of Revit and what each one is for. • Understand the best practices for setting up a project initially and sharing it with consultants. • Know how to troubleshoot some of the most common problems • Become a champion for the coordinates in Revit!
