Convert project coordinates to Survey

DId you watch this post ?
It seems that is what you want to achieve.

Just a quick question: Have you rotated your project? Or just XY-translation?

I might suggest providing a few screenshots.

  1. Your project positioning settings
  2. Your base point and survey point in a 3D view
  3. A view with coordinate point tags showing values of project and shared coordinates

Otherwise, it’s difficult to know how you are set up.

Hi M.owens.

Please see attached sreenshots.

Not sure if this is what you looking for or not.

Hi Jostein,

I think my project has been rotated, I don’t believe I have used the XY-translation node.

I have added some screenshots below of my project.

See if there’s anything here you can use: Element Shared Coordinates Location

I don’t understand why the python script I provide in the second post doesn’t suit your needs.

It seems to work well or maybe I still have not understood your goal.

Hi Alban,

Can you send me your script to see if it works with my coordinate system please ?

Cheers

I have reproduced your coordinate system.

Coordinates

The script is in post 2.

Thank you Alban,

Can you tell me where I can find the Survey & Base location nones please ?

In my picture, I found the survey and base locations of the piles with 2 differents methods.
The first is with Python and is short and easy.
The second method is with OOTB nodes and is more complicated.

The base and survey location nodes you’re talking about are only Watch nodes renamed.

Hi Alban,

Yea I still cant get it to work

What does the error say above the python script and above the coordinatesystembyorigin ? (in yellow)

Warning: Your inputs lie outside of the allowable modeling range, consider choosing the Extra Large setting with a modeling range between 1 and 100,000,000 from the “Settings => Geometry Working Range” dialog

Change your working range to “Extra Large” here:

Hi Jonathon,

I’m still getting that error message.

Can you add your revit project file with the piles or send it by private message ?
It will be easier to help you.

So the problem was that your Structural Foundations category contains Rebar, floor, piles and ground beams.
It’s necessary to add a filter to keep only the piles and the beams.
The beams are curves but it’s possible to find their midpoint.
