Hi there
I am currently starting a new project for a commercial building
The architectural model is going to be modeled in Archicad, but the structural and M+E engineers will be using Revit.
I need to provide an origin point for the correct collaboration and coordination.
The engineers and I have selected a point out of the Topographical survey to be set as the "Project Origin"
This topographical point has 3 coordinates (numbers in meters) : UK easting/northing/Elevation.
The problem comes when I try to set up the Origin Point (within the Project Preferences). The only units accepted to set up this point are "Degrees/Minutes/Seconds" or "Decimal Degrees"
I have tried to use on-line translators, but I haven't found any that is giving me an accurate position.
Could anybody tell me how to set up an origin point with a eating/northing/elevation numbers in metres?
Thank you

Hi MRF BIM. Thank you. This kind of solves my display problem on the new files. The trick it's in "-".
On the that I'm working on which was created with ArchiCAD 25 for some reason the coordinates are doubled(i.e.: 432.24 is 864.48).
Thank you,
