Reset Shared Coordinates more easily with Revit 2021.1

by Dennis Collin

I recently posted about a recent update to Revit 2021, the 2021.1 update. One of its many benefits is an improved tool to reset shared coordinates. This command removes the shared coordinate relationship between model files with one click. In the past this was achieved with a workaround of acquiring coordinates from a linked blank dummy project. However, with the latest release it is possible to reset shared coordinate relationships between linked models within the manage tab. Shared coordinate relationships in the host model are reset and the survey point is moved back to the internal origin of the model. This makes it easier to re-establish and correct positioning relationships between linked models.

Resetting shared coordinates only affects the host model, no changes are made to the linked models.
