Has anyone ever encountered an entire model moving from the architect?  The architect modeled a building and an adjacent parking garage on a project.  After reviewing the site plan, the architect realized that the location of the parking garage was off 28 feet! 

How do I move my 4 levels of plumbing and HVAC?  Should I grab all of it in a 3D view?

Thanks for any help I can get on this one.  I hope it's an easy fix.

If you copy monitored the architect's levels, all you would have to do is accept the level change.

if you didn't copy-monitor, yeah, you could select all of your elements in a 3-D view and move everything the 28'. not sure how you modeled everything, but one thing to keep in mind is be aware if you have anything pinned or locked in place. when you're selecting everything, you can also utilize the filter tool at the bottom of the screen to weed out stuff that you want to deselect.

If you did not CM the levels, then you can simply goto an elevation or section view, dimension and lock your levels, then move the lowest level to match the linked model.  DO NOT PICK OBJECTS - just the level.

After rereading the original question, are we trying to move the elements vertically or horizontally? If vertically, I agree with you WWHub.

Now why did I assume vertical?  I guess because the poster said 4 levels.  However, it could just as easily be horizontal  (NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION) , in which case, relocate project would be best.  Then the posters model would fit back into the architect's model.

Thanks for the responses, however, the model moved horizontally, not vertically.  Sorry for the confustion.  If it had moved vertically, this would have been easier.  Unfortunately, it moved horizontally because the architect didn't have the parking garage in the right location in respect the building based off the site plan.

Horizontally - Then as I said - "Relocate Project" - manage tab / project location / position / relocate project.

That worked!  Thanks for making me aware of that tool.  I knew there had to be something like that, but couldn't find it.
