A 36 minute video on the Revit coordinate system…

EDIT For some reason the original video is not working.  It was also referenced on Wikihelp here, and that embedded version is broken too.  I tried to contact Youtube user cwm9 but did not get a reply.  I have re-uploaded to here:

This means the building will not be in the right location for civil 3d, which use real world coordinates. A survey point needs to read the physically correct location values, so it is probably better to use "specify coordinates at point" at an agreed point, then move the unclipped survey point to that location. I would clipped it back… Read more »
