To assign my chosen coordinate system, I’ll use the Define Projection geoprocessing tool before adding to the map. If the model is in the United States, I’ll usually try a State Plane coordinate system that matches my expected units.

If I guess incorrectly, I can refine my choices later.

Do I know roughly where in the world this model is?įrom those two pieces of information, I can make a logical guess of a valid coordinate system to use.

Can I make a reasonable guess whether this model is using metric or imperial units?.

In most cases, I don’t have a way to ask the author about the coordinate system, so I need to make a logical guess. If I can, I’ll ask the author if this information is included, and if so which coordinate system was used for the base point coordinates.

This information is stored with the Revit base point. To select the correct coordinate system, the first question I ask is:ĭoes this Revit model include location informatio n? There are techniques in Revit to include N/S, E/W, and elevation.
