4) Use the move tool to move the walls

5) the corner point gets the location 0 in E/W direction and 0 in N/S direction and 0 as elevation. Now you know where the Origin is situated. You can save the file as eg. origin.rvt

6) Now you can use the origin then you make new walls

You can select and copy the corner-wall and paste it(Edit > Paste Aligned > Select Levels by name) into some other project-file. And you have got the same start-point in both files. You can also use origin then you are linking files for coordination.

Remark. Revit advocates that you use shared locations but the shared locations are not visible only names. Perhaps this method suits you better? Or you can combine the methods. It is always nice to know something absolute. Everything is not just relative in this world and in the CAD-world though the absolute may be hidden to the eye.
