Workflow: Positioning

When starting a new project, perform the following tasks to establish context for the model.

1. Specify the geographic location to indicate its real-world location using global coordinates.
2. Define the survey point to match a known point in the physical world.

   Use survey coordinates from the civil engineer, or determine the coordinates of a known location, such as a geodetic survey marker or the intersection of 2 property lines.

3. Rotate True North to define the Y axis of the survey point.
4. Define the project base point to establish a reference for measuring distances and positioning objects within the context of the model.

When importing or linking other models, use the appropriate Positioning option.
