Shared Coordinates System in Revit from a CAD File in 5 Simple Steps

#Revit #BIM #SharedCoordinates
In this video, I show how to establish a shared coordinate system from a CAD file. Typically projects require to show at least the correct orientation (angle to True North) and also in some cases the correct location based on a given coordinate system. If you have a CAD file that shows that information from a survey and/or a Civil 3D file, this workflow will help you set up your orientation and location easily.
