Element by point

I am trying to put some elements according to their topographic axes: the surveyor gives me the excel and I, through a dynamo routine, put them in their place.

Currently the points are placed as “project base point” but I need to insert it as “survey point”, the model being shared coordinates

You need to create a coordinate system and translate back to the Internal coordinates - it’s a bit tricky to get right, but this one could work. You might need to scale your numbers from Excel.

Hi! ,

I don’t understand how can I scale the results to obtain the same numbers
Can you help me?

Thank you!

I wrote about scaling because I noticed that the numbers you got from your surveyor seemed to be in Meter instead of Millimeter (which you probably have in your Revit model).
So most likely you need to multiply the incoming numbers with 1000 and then translate.

Set your shared Coordinate System to match the coordinates coming in (but in mm) and it should work.
