Hi All, i am getting down tot he last couple weeks of documentation. I have a major issue regarding the site plan. By the way this is the first REVIT project the office has attempted.We got a feature survey completed in Autocad. I have imported the cad file into the project. However, when i scroll in (with the mouse/or zoom with appropriate tools) the site plan lines and masking regions jump around. They look like they move upto 1 metre, in any direction. So with this occuring, I cannot document the setbacks accurately. I have been getting away with it by just opening the survey in Autocad, and measuring what the setbacks would be, as it sits inbetween 3 buildings. Is there a way to fix this, as i could find this as a major issue with many users.Note: it is not a graphics card issue, as it may seem. I am running revit on a, "HP z820 workstation, 16gb RAM, quatro4000 graphics card, 6 core processor". Revit: 2013

When you say import, I hope you mean link - << Better.

I have seen what you are describing and it is not an accuracy issue but a display issue.  Try changing the scale of the view then zoom in and out and watch what happens.

Thankyou for ur reponse, deleted and linked in as i did, "import". Same issue unfortunately. Problem still exists when i change the scale multiple times and zoom in and out, could it be because they used filled regions in their car drawing? not sure.edit: removed hatched/filled area on survey drawing (just to see if that is the issue no luck.)
