Mirroring A Project; Reporting Shared Coordinates - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

To relocate a project by entering points:
1 Click Tools menu
2 Place the cursor in the view, and click to select a point at which to enter the coordinates.
3 Enter coordinate values for the selected point.
4 If you want to rotate the project from Project North to True North, enter a value and direction.
5 Click OK to save the new coordinates for the selected point.

Mirroring a Project

Mirroring a project allows you to mirror (reflect the position and shape of) all elements in a project around
an axis you select (North - South, East - West, Northeast - Southwest, or Northwest - Southeast). When you
mirror a project, model elements, all views, and annotations are mirrored. Orientation of annotations is
preserved when necessary, for example text does not mirror in order to retain readability.
To mirror a project:
1 Click Tools menu
2 In the Mirror Project dialog, select an option.
3 Click OK.
In some cases when you mirror a project, relationships between elements are not supported as in the original
orientation of the project. This can lead to unexpected results and errors, for example some elements may
deviate from exact reflection. After you mirror the project, a message displays to indicate any errors
encountered. You can export errors to review and correct them.
For information on exporting errors, see
elements in the project that are associated with errors, see
the tools you can use to correct errors, see

Reporting Shared Coordinates

You can report the shared coordinates of a linked model within a host model. The coordinates returned are
with respect to the shared coordinates between the models.
1 Click Tools menu
2 Place the cursor on a reference point of the linked model.
3 Click the reference.

Shared Coordinates
The Specify Shared Coordinates dialog displays values for the coordinates of the selected point.
The dialog displays only values that it can infer from the point.
Project Position/Orientation
Shared Coordinates
A reference point can be an edge of an element (such as a roof) or the corner of 2 walls.
The coordinates of the reference display on the Options Bar. The reference's elevation also
displays.
NOTE If you click somewhere in a plan view (other than a reference), you see the North, South, East,
and West coordinates of that point. In a section or elevation view, you see only the elevation of the
point.
