Tell me one thing, if it was in CAD How you center that building to the property line??? You also work in CAD right?

Draw a reference plane at the "centerline" of your building (parallel to the property lines). Now, select the reference plane and EVERYTHING on your building (pull a selection box around it all) and group them together. Now pull a running dimension from the left property line, to the centerline reference plane, to the right property line. Click the EQ button that is presented after placing the dimension. This will center the building. Now, simply "ungroup" the group you made. And, presto! Your building is centered...

This is a case of which is easier to move - the building or the site? If you have a lot of detail elements/tags/dimensions done on the building, you don't want to move it. Move the PL's and the site....

Typhoon- i never had anything to do with drawing or architecture before three years ago when i started learning revit.. i studied revit everyday- but i also studied everything else about architecture and that's why i still don't know revit that well- it's all a huge challenge- but fun.. i can see where this building to site relationship is an issue.. the building will always have to be repositioned on the site.. so i guess like Hub says- at some point in the evolution of the building it might be easier to move the whole site.. but in the early stages of building development- like what jcedens is saying- there is a way to move the building.. revit is more than just thousands of bits and pieces of a chinese puzzle- it's also thousands of pieces of understanding logic.. well i'm exaggerating a little- but it is lots of fun.. thanks everyone for the help..
