Getting coordinates from generic model family

Revit
1

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to get the easting, northing and elevation of a generic model family. It seems to work but does not use the shared coordinate system from Revit. I have specified the Survey Point E 10000 N 10000, but appears to think it’s 0,0,0 ? How do I get it to read the real survey coordinates ?

Hi @Mark,

You can also use python and a custom node to perform the conversion in survey coordinates.
In the survey coordinates system, the survey point is the origin and its coordinates are 0,0,0.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Thanks that works well. I’m still not familiar enough with Python to write a custom node, is there a way of doing it with OOTB nodes or a package node that you know of ?

Many thanks.

The custom node is part of the Genius Loci package.
