Cross-linking multiple sites
- Recall that one of the major benefits of using shared coordinates is the ability to cross-link the two files to one another. So after we've linked a building into a site, we can then go into the building and link the site in, and you'll know exactly where to go. I am here in Building I, and the first thing I wanna point out is, I'm in a 3D view and, as you can see here, the project base point and the survey point are spaced away from one another quite a distance. That is based on the fact that the shared coordinates were saved, and that's the separation between the two coordinate systems there. I'm gonna go to a more convenient view to work, like the Site Plan View. What you're gonna see here is that, in this view, we're at the orientation of the overall site, because the Site Plan View is currently set to True North. If, however, I switched to the Level 1 floor plan, you can see that it's oriented nice and horizontally because now the view is set to Project North. This is the view…
