BIM model floating in the air

ZhongmingAn — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:51:56 GMT

Hi, I was trying to georeference couple of revit models but no matter what I did, the model just didn't want to touch the ground. I tried "elevate to ground" but it would send the building higher in the sky; I also tried manually move the model down about where it should be but once I hit save, the building just shot itself up into the sky again.

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hi Zhongmin,

Prior to you click 'elevate to ground', did you turn on the snapping tool and snap to the bottom corner ( first floor\ground level) of the building?

If yes, I suggest you to check the Elevation setting in the Layer Properties. This setting allows you to define how the layer interacts with the elevation surface in a 3D scene, choosing options like "On the ground" to drape features onto the terrain.
