Every CAD program has an ORIGIN. Revit has also an ORIGIN but it is hidden. If you want to know there the ORIGIN in Revit is situated this is a method to locate it.

1) Begin with making a wall with a corner on level 1 with suitable height so it will pass through all the levels you are going to use.

2) Choose Tools > Locations and Coordinates > Report Shared Coordinates

3) click the corner point and you can read the location for the point in E/W East/West direction and in the N/S North/South direction and its Elevation.
