Old thread, but is anything done regarding this subject to Rhino 7?

Hi Rasmus - a lot has changed since 2015. It would likely be more productive if you were able to provide specific information about something that is not working right for you. -wim

One thing Revit does which is nice is having two origins , the world origin and the project origin (an origin you can set anywhere, they call it Project Survey Point and Project Base Point). It could be nice that calculations happen based on relativity to the project origin but the project itself is …

Michael, yes that is also possible with rhino. Set a Cplane out in negative space so that the original coordinates can be referenced if you want. And set the base insertion point property if you want it to align on an insert. But this leaves the building closer to the universal origin so there is e…

Sure that is true, I think many have this issue because they miss or don’t understand that as it is less obvious. I guess it is more obvious with Revit (I am far from a Revit advocate :smiley: ) because you are essentially forced to set these points, where I think many Rhino users just rely on the d…

Does this affect attached models and directly importing? I currently use a macro that remaps to cplane when importing or exporting. But that’s a bit clunky, I’d love some robust Project Origin type of function as Michael described, like in Revit and Tekla. It’s necessary to work in world coordinates…

This was more of an open question to find out if something is happening :slight_smile: But yeah, working with material that’s in world coordinates is a pain, everything needs to be moved near origo and checked. Importing, exporting, attaching and inserting should be possible to be done by referenci…

Sure, agreed. So, anyone want to write a set of AEC utilities to aid in the management of building models? There are a couple VisualARQ and Lands Design. It would make sense to have them there. Writing a few things in Python would work too. Perhaps an open source project? We could even put a n…

The Command ModelBasepoint will affect the importing and exporting location. So if that is set right, multiple models will stay aligned.

Not me! Product design stays at the World Origin :smiley:

Ahhhh, now we understand why it might not be required in all Rhino models!
