In-Depth Information
your survey point set to 0,0,0 and you move it, you are changing where
0,0,0 is located in your project. This will affect the location of your model
components in relation to a linked file with which you are sharing
coordinates.
Moving an “unclipped” survey point moves the point in relation to the
shared coordinate and project coordinate systems. This does not change the
shared or project coordinates of the model. It simply changes the location
of the survey point. This allows you to move it to a location established by a
linked file without changing the shared coordinates.
Managing Revit Links
Throughout the design process, you will want to keep up with the many
changes occurring in the files you have linked into your project. Revit does
not always automatically update your file with changes made in the linked
files. The only time updates occur automatically is when you open your
project file after the linked files have been updated. If you are in a working
session of Revit and one of your linked files is updated, you will have to
reload the link manually to see the update.
Updating files from your consultants requires the same process you used
when you first received the files, except you do not have to insert them into
your file again. Download the new file from your consultant, and apply the
maintenance procedures discussed in the previous section. Be sure that you
overwrite the existing file with the new one and avoid changing the name.
After you have updated the files in your project folder, you can open your
project file. If you are working in a local file, you should synchronize it with
the central file as soon as it is finished opening. This will ensure that the
central file contains the updated linked file information.
Sometimes new versions of the files you are linking become available while
you are working in your project file. If another user has updated the linked
files and synchronized them with the central file, you will not see the
updatedlinksevenwhenyousynchronize withthecentral file.Youwillneed
to reload the links also. The same is not true for unloading links, however. If
you unload a link and then synchronize with central, all other users will see
the change when they synchronize.
