For anyone thinking of upgrading to Revit 2020.2, here is some advice to avoid a bit of pain in the upgrade process:
Autodesk have introduced a new feature in the point release Revit 2020 SP2 that should really require a database change (but does not do so):
Expose internal point of origin
This is a marker that indicates the true origin of the project (internal coordinates 0,0,0), which may be different to the ‘Project Base Point’ if that has been moved.
It is indicated by a 2 or 3 axis X,Y,Z symbol in red, green and blue
- The symbol cannot be selected;
- It will cause you problems during ‘Zoom to Fit’ if it is outside your building;
- It can be hidden/shown in Visibility Graphics, as a subcategory of Site.
This is a useful feature, as we sometimes need to find out where that point is – however, it will initially add confusion to anyone who does not already understand the coordinate system in Revit (as there will now be a third origin point to deal with).
The real problem…
