I am trying to import a revit model into a new project so that I can make a site plan in a seperate file, but I need tyo use shared coordinates and I keep getting the error message (see attached).

Does anyone know a way to sort this out?

Thanks very much in advance,

Kieran

Obviously, the twor revit files do not have the same coordinates and you have to reset one.   From your HELP:

When you acquire coordinates from a linked Revit project, the shared coordinates of the linked project become the shared coordinates of the host project, based on the position of the linked project instance in the host project. There is no change to the host project's internal coordinates. The host project also acquires True North from the linked project. The origin of the linked project's shared coordinates becomes the origin of the host project's shared coordinates.

To acquire coordinates:

1. Click Manage tab Project Location panel Coordinates drop-down    (Acquire Coordinates).
2. Place the cursor on a linked model instance, and click.
