Description
Revit Shared Coordinates are essential for setting up a project’s real-world location and coordinating the alignment of models linked between consultants. With the adoption of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the field, digital setting out of projects is becoming more prevalent—and getting the coordinates right is increasingly critical. However, a project’s setup is usually done only once at the beginning by one person, so there are few opportunities to learn it. This makes understanding and getting it right a bit of a dark art. Drawing on years of experience working with projects in the real world, this session will cover the theory of shared coordinates, reveal the system behind the curtain, and show the application with a real-world example. Whether you’re trying to get your model to report spot coordinates, or you just want to know how to align that structural model with yours because origin-to-origin isn’t working, this class will show you how it’s done right.
Key Learnings
- Learn how Revit software’s shared coordinate system works.
- Learn how to properly manipulate and use the shared coordinates within a file and between files.
- Learn how to apply shared coordinates when dealing with a project using real-world coordinate systems.
- Learn how to overcome the challenge of projects in real-world locations inside Revit software’s 20-mile limit.

Krigh BachmannKrigh Bachmann is the Leader of Digital Innovation for the international design and engineering practice DIALOG. Focused on the research and implementation of emerging technology in the AECO industry, his focus is on the ensuring that practice keeps up with the leading edge. Some of his more recent initiatives include developing a Smart IoT Studios for DIALOG's offices including the creation of a digital twin; he has been developing new processes to integrate generative design and BIM kit of part libraries with prefab/modular construction; he successfully has implemented MakerLabs in DIALOG's four main locations which focus on ensuring the teams have the latest digital hardware (e.x. 3D printers, VR, and Matterport cameras) they need to communicate and explore their designs. Krigh is also an active member of the AEC community. He enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge with others and has previously presented at Autodesk University 2020 & 2017, BiLT NA 2017, Digital Shoreditch Festival, the London Revit user Group and was an active member of the national BIM for Local Government task group in the UK. He has chaired Think Tanks in the Canadian BIM Council (CanBIM). He is always looking for ways to keep the industry moving forward drawing on his international experience. He joined DIALOG in 2016 after returning from 8 years in the UK, where he was the BIM Manager and EMEA Digital Design Leader for Gensler and BIM Manager for Pollard Thomas Edwards. While there, he worked on projects ranging from Facebook datacentres in Europe, workplace analysis for the Bank of Ireland, and the 1.2 million sqft Goldman Sachs European HQ (LDP). Always on the lookout for the latest tech, Krigh has a keen interest in leveraging new and innovative technologies to improve both the designs his team produce and the method by which they are created.
