Revit Shared Coordinates - Part 4, Multiple Building Instances

One more installment for Revit's shared coordinates system. Today's post covers how to manage multiple building instances, from the same Revit proposed building model.

I also created a YouTube video covering all the required steps.

The need to place the same building in multiple locations on a site is not too un-common. Revit's shared coordinate system can handle this task.

Each site definition shows up in the RVT Links tab within the Revit site model, as shown above. This allows each instance to be managed separately.

All this is covered in more detail in this YouTube video I created:
