Revit Tip - Project Base Point and Survey Point Revisited


Over the years there have been posts on this blog that spark debate, opinions, and "face-palms".  The "Controlling Your Levels..." post I published back in May of 2015 is an example of a post that makes you think and rethink Revit's coordinate system.

Ben, thanks for creating this image and taking a simple blog post to the next level.  I am glad you were inspired to look into this subject and came out of it a coordinate systems expert!  I hope other readers can print this image and use it to understand the systems as well as teach it to others!
