Create/Move Dynamo Origin

[Daniel_Woodcock1]

Hi @cp_questions,

You need to calculate the vector translate from where your Dynamo origin is to you project base point. You can get the project base point coordinates easy enough, then you a vector.bytwopoints to give you the translate vector. If there is a rotation in your project perform that first.

See my post below that covers basepoints in Revit…

Creating a point at a given coordinate relative to survey point coordinates

Hi @simon_murphy1, You have to be wary about how you do this. The Revit coordinate system can be quite complicated depending on how the project was set up. Let me explain… Revit has three points of interest and a rotation… Project Base Point Survey Point and the illusive Internal Origin Point Rotation How the project coordinates have been set up is very important to how Dynamo places geometry. For example, Unclipping while setting coordinates changes everything. Generally speaking, when yo…
