Good afternoon;

Is it a bug when my model is mirrored when I open it, but when it is linked in the Site file, it is correct.

The shared coordinates are published from the site model, the position is saved.

Other files linked to that  very site model are OK.

All the models have only one position.

Revit 2017

Please help.

Thank you

A Revit model cannot be mirrored in its own central model. It is what it is - i.e. it is exactly how it was modelled originally. I suggest that the model after it has been linked into another model has been mirrored within that other model. If that makes sense.

Thanks. That's the only logical explanation which came to my mind, but i needed someone supported it.

However, when I link other 100% correct models into this mirrored building, these links are also mirrored.

When these links are separately linked in other correct models, they are correct.

I think there it something with the position, but i don't know what.

Please share your thoughts.

Create a new model from scratch. Place a single wall in it. Save it and close it. Open the problem model, import the new model. Use acquire coordinates/location tool to acquire the location from the new model. Remove new model and save problem mode abd close it. Hopefully this has reset the coordinate system. Now open the site file and insert the problem model and place it correctly in the right X/Y/Z planes. Use publish coordinates and publish coordinates to problem model. Hope this works.

  Thanks.  I also think the problem is in the coordinates. 

  I tried to eraze the coordinates (I have a special read-only file for this), and the PBP and the survey point move at undesirable locations.

  Is there anything I could try before rewriting the coordinates?

Thank you again.

Copy the file to a read/write seperated location and work with that as a test.

You can open up any revit project 'detached' and then store that central under a new name.  This file will already have all linked files and whatever you do in this file will not affect any links.

Yes, that's true. Thank you again for the help.

I still don't understand why the model is flipped when it is detached or opened separately while it is good when is linked.

I'll probably bind it into the topo and delete other links, thereby getting a new copy of that building, this time properly oriented. But why is it mirrored?

I did what i intended - copied the file where the link was good, deleted all other stuff, bound the link, and saved the file under the name of the corrupted one. When i linked it to the main model, everything was good.

 But i still don't know why it was mirrored.
