Place

Place

In the Revit Platform API, the SiteLocation class contains place information including Latitude, Longitude, and Time Zone. This information identifies where the project is located in the world. When setting either the Latitude or Longitude, note that:

  1. Revit will attempt to match the coordinates to a city it knows about, and if a match is found, will set the name accordingly.
  2. Revit will attempt to automatically adjust the time zone value to match the new Longitude or Latitude value set using SunAndShadowSettings.CalculateTimeZone(). For some boundary cases, the time zone calculated may not be correct and the TimeZone property can be set directly if necessary.
