Revit Families & Rhino Blocks - Location/Base Point in different locations

Rhino.Inside Revit
#1

Hello,

Baking Graphical Elements into Rhino produces blocks (which is fantastic) but these blocks have different Base Points than original objects - are they different things?

Interestingly, this Revit object exported by Datasmith into Twinmotion also has its pivot point in the place of the red dot which makes it impossible to simply swap it with Twinmotion native asset.

This example shows baked armchair - blue point shows the original, correct Location of Revit family and the red dot shows “Base Point” of baked Rhino Block.

Not sure what plugin that is from. Extended Geometry in the Elefront Plugin lets you reference blocks.

Hi,
This component is from the Heteroptera plugin.
You can also use what Japhy suggested.
