Hello all!  I'm new to the site tools in Revit so please bare with me.

I've been reading up on the shared positioning and I'm lost.  I have toposurface site model in one Revit file and I have created my building model in another.  I would like to "link" them together now.  The toposurface site is created using "true" elevations because the site is pretty steep.  My building elevation heights are not "true" and are only relative to the building itself.  How do I use the "shared positioning" to put them together.  PLEASE HELP, I'm on a deadline for a presentation.  Thanks again!

 BTW, I'm using Revit Building 8.1

Hi, i don't no if i understand what do you want but if you want to move all of your model to the right elevation first go to a section view, you must create a dimensions about all of your LEVELS, then lock all dimensions, zoom the label of "level 0", in the elevation label pick them and write the true elevation, if everything is right your model up to the right elevation, delete your dimension line and click "unconstrain" because you don't need them anymore.

I hope this is what do you need...

My understanding of the shared positioning was so you don't have to physically move the model in elevation.  Is this true or did I misunderstand.

I was reading the following: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=4499

I have a similar situation, I want to placed one building on my very steep sloped site.  Part of the building will actually sit "into" the hillside.

 Thanks again
