PR: Curious case of linking behaviour in 24.2

Opened this issue · 4 comments

Problem Description

I had the following linking issue with an IFC from Vectorworks:
In Revit 2023 and previous versions I get the old familiar linking behaviour where some models with large coordinates appear miles away from the project base point:

In Revit 2024, however, the linked IFC is placed fairly cloase to the project base point, but not origin-to-origin:

I would be happy to send in the file to get to bottom of what is causing this.

Workaround

Remap the coordinates to local with a custom tool, link first in Revit 2023, only then link in Revit 2024. Not exactly my idea of fun.

Hello @andydandy74 ,

Sample files to reproduce your issue would be very helpful.
Could you please share the .rvt project, .ifc file, and any additional information to my email (oleksandr.babii@autodesk.com)?

Hi @andydandy74,

To fully understand the issue and make the correct fix that works for you I need to know the configuration of Project Base Point and Survey Point of both Revit models. Is it possible to share the .rvt file you are exporting from and the .rvt file you are linking to?

Thanks,
Ihor

@t-vasyi Sorry for the late reply. I can only share the model the IFC was linked into since the IFC itself was created in Vectorworks. I sent you a download link for the model.
