Now that we've linked two Revit files together, what happens next? In this video we look at the differences of how the two files relate to each when they are inserted by Project Base Point or By Shared Coordinates.

So now that I've covered what the four project files points are, and how to move them, how do you use these points. Today's video covers how to move the Project Base Point so when linking two files they will align when one file is inserted into the other.
