Revit boundaries in wrong location

lorenzoz

I'm trying setting up a project in my ArcGIS GeoBIM app. I link my Autodesk account and the ArcGIS GeoBIM tools allow me to find issues and boundaries for my documents in BIM360. All the boundaries of the documents with .dwg extensions are correctly placed, meanwhile .rvt documents boundaries are placed in the wrong location (they end up in the north pole).

.dwg documents have projected coordinate system (wkid: 32632), meanwhile .rvt documents are seen with a geographic coordinate system (wkid: 4326). I tried giving a projected coordinate system on Autodesk Revit but in ArcGIS GeoBIM is always seen as Geographic (wkid: 4326).

I tried setting up the ArcGIS GeoBIM tools with both WKID 32632 and 4326. I also tried, as said in the documentation, to set the wkid of the map/scene in ArcGIS Online (Web Mercator, wkid 3857). I also tried using the button "force synchronization". Nothing changed.

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Could you please give more details about georeferencing on your revit files? Can you confirm that your files are georeferenced correctly using project base point & survey point in revit? Do you also have .prj files associated with your revit files saved in BIM360? In case you need to georeference them from scratch, you might find these resources helpful:

Hi Anthony and Özgür,

I'm sorry but I couldn't try solving the problem until today. I just solved it with the following changes:

I put the prj file alongside the .rvt file in BIM360
I set up the ArcGIS GeoBIM tool with "force synchronization" and the Web Mercator WKID 3857

Thank you for your help!

Hi @lorenzoz - Did Ozgur's proposals above help solve your Revit georeferencing problem? Usually this problem is in the coordinate system setup within Revit that also needs the associated PRJ stored within the same Autodesk folder directory as Ozgur also link to resources that help discuss. Please let us know if the problem still exists. Thanks!
