Hi, I have 2 different files. One is for Architectural and one is for Structural. Currently, the entire Strucutural model is about 5 feet off of the Architectural model. What's the best way to move the entire Structural model to match the Architectural model?

if you link the structural file into the architectural file, then you should be able to either in '3d view' or section select and move the whole model down. after this you can bind the files together if you choose.

Open your structural file and acquire coordinates from the Arch link this will but both files to the same 0,0,0 coord system link any new files in using shared coordinates always pin your links to avoind accidental movement of link files, at the bottom of your revit screen I suggest unchecking Press & Drag option... That can be dangerouse tool. If your models still don't line up, find a common base point such as a grid lind crossing and use ID point in your master model to get your coords and then open the linked model and use Specify at point to reassign the common point in your other model to match coord point of your master model. Sometimes, when links get moved or out of line it can be like a dog chasing its tail to realign the models but it is doable. Moving links and/or models should be your last resort.

and I would suggest never moving a model, only move a link as a last resort. My fingers got ahead of my brain... I hope this helps
