I have an architectural Revit model and a Structural Revit model.  They are linked together in the proper location in Revit.  When i open them individually in their own Revit files and export them as an .NWC file and then open them in Navisworks they import to two different locations like they have different origins.  Can anyone help with this issue?  Is there a setting in the Navisworks Export Settings that i may not have on or off.  It is currently set up with the default settings.

Thanks!

Under Manage tab, verify that both files have the same location, coordinates & position. It is not when you linked struc with arch files and match them on screen.

Sorry if this is a basic question, i just haven't had to change origins before.  Their Location is the same.

How do i check the coordinates and the Position.  Both of their drop down menus don't have an options that pull up a screen to tell me the Coordinates or the Position.

Thank you.

Under Manage Tab, click coordinates then click Report Shared Coordinates. Compare the values you are getting when picking the same point on both the Arch & Struc models.
