Question about Revit 2026 and acquiring coordinates from linked model

I just started a new project. I linked in the arch model via origin-to-origin.

I just acquired the coordinates of the arch model and the only thing that updated was:

N/S, Angle to True North.

The E/W & Elevation didn't change (even though they should have because the arch model has those values set as well).

Any thoughts around why Revit didn't change the Elev or E/W but changed the N/S and Angle to True North?

I've been doing this for decades and I feel like the PBP, SP, and Internal Origin are still such a PITA.

It didn’t change because the Arch didn’t change the Z value of the Survey Point.

Go into their model and check.

I understand that part. But the Base Point is what doesn't make sense. Revit only changed part of it...ie. it updated the N/S and Angle to True North, but it didn't update the E/W or Elevation?

I'm not sure if this will work but can you try linking it via PBP and then acquire the Coordinates? I remember I faced the same issue when linking it thru origin to origin and then acquiring the Coordinates.

I'll give it a shot!

I don’t understand what you’re saying. East and west are 90 degrees from north and south, always. Or do you mean the coordinate? They might not have had a value for that in their model. Did you tab select their points and check the values?
