Placing the STR elements based on the Survey information

Hi Folks

I received a CSV file for the as-built model to place the STR columns based on (X, Y, Z).

I’m trying to place as the snapshot below but they are placed far from the right location. Please advise how to adjust the location through Dynamo.

Thanks

Revit manages ALL geometry based on it’s internal origin.

There is a near 0% chance your data is relative to the internal origin. More likely it is based on the project base point or most likely survey point.

You’ll need to transform the data to the internal origin from the coordinate system the data is in to make things align. Geometry.Transform is the node to do the alignment; you’ll have to find the coordinate system still.

You’re right. I tried to transform with Geometry.Transform but still same issue.

Don’t forget the rotation component. I believe there are a few other nodes (perhaps in genius loci package?) to get the transforms directly.

Also be sure you’re pulling the right type of coordinate system - project vs survey.
