Implementing Revit Within Your Civil 3D Workflow A
s a civil engineer, sometimes working with an architect has been nothing more than “Just send me your stuff and I’ll get it in the right spot”. And as an architect, sometimes working with the civil engineer’s JUNK is not worth the hassle. I am 100% guilty when it comes to both of those statements! But there are some helpful ways to implement Revit to Civil 3D and/or Civil 3D to Revit workflows.
From the Units and Zone tab you can set your Category (State/Country) and well as choose from a list of available coordinate systems (CS). If you know your CS code, you can simply type it into the box.
COORDINATE SYSTEMS
I thought I’d briefly explain how the coordinates of both Civil 3D and Revit work. Civil 3D is preloaded with a huge library of coordinate systems and easy to create custom coordinate systems, or project coordinate systems in. Setting the coordinate system in Civil 3D is very easy, simply right click on your drawing name from the Settings tab of your Toolspace. Figure 1
