Hello everyone.

I need some help.  
I want to change the coordinates from the Base-/Surveypoint without moving from the internal origin.

My regular routine is:

- Unclip Surveypoint
- Change coordinates from Basepoint (Function: Specify Coordinates at Point)
- Clip Surveypoint

Is it possible to do this with Dynamo?

@genossealex ,

i get always goose flash … when i see these points 😉

I would extract the coordinates from file (f.e. dwg/rvt) rather than putting in numbers and angles!

This is exatly what i want to do.  
I’m exporting coordinates (X, Y, Z, Angle) from Civil3D into a JSON-File and want to Import them in Revit.

And i know that there is an exiting Tool “Shared Reference Point” for that, but i want to put this function into a bigger dynamo-script, so that i don’t have to use a second function.
