- In this movie we're gonna look at the process…to position a linked file very precisely…relative to its host model,…and we're gonna do that specifically using…the Rotate command and/or the Align command.…So I want to actually show you two different methods…that we can use to do this.…So the file that I have here on-screen…has a copy of our office building…down here in the corner,…and we're zoomed out pretty far…and you can see that we've got this other thing…floating up here and that's actually…a linked Revit model.…And we talked about how we could establish a link…in the previous movie.…Now it's not very clear exactly…what this linked Revit model represents…and that's because I'm in Level 1 Floor Plan.…
So on the Project Browser let's go…to the site plan instead.…And when we do that you'll see…a little bit more clearly what…that linked Revit model is.…It's actually the site information for this building.…So I have a toposurface out around here,…there's some roads, a parking lot,…and a property line, and some trees.…
