Are we correct in doing the following:
We are using Revit Architectural 2010, AutoCAD MEP 2008 and Navisworks Manage 2010. When we set Project internal Coordinates and export to Navisworks everything comes in lined up in Manage. When we set Shared Coordinates in Revit and export to Navisworks MEP and Revit models come in 2 different places.
