When you start a Revit model, specify the location of the project base point to establish a reference for measuring distances and positioning objects within the context of the model.
If you have already defined the project base point and you need to move it, see Move the Project Base Point.
To define the project base point
Initially, the project base point and the survey point are located at the same position, and they look like this:
As an alternative, using the Properties palette or the Project Base Point fields in the drawing area, enter values for N/S (northing), E/W (easting), Elevation, and Angle to True North.
Setting the angle to True North is the same as using the Rotate True North tool.
Pinning the project base point disables the Relocate Project and the Rotate Project North tools.
