Coordinate system is not setting for Revit to GIS conversion

Question

I’m converting 135 Revit models to GIS but the coordinate system is not setting (location is Philidelphia but data is appearing in Ohio). I’ve tried setting the coordinate system (NAD 83, Pennsylvania state plane south, US foot) in the writer and using CoordinateSystemSetter. Individual models appear properly in ArcGIS Pro. I’m really baffled by this one; probably something simple I’m missing.

Thanks, but this does not work. Data should be coming at Philidelphia Airport, but it is coming in at central VA,

Hi ​@nea, a couple of questions & things to try:- Was there already a coordinate system in your Revit file?- In your Revit reader parameters, what is your “Revit Coordinate System to Read” set to? It might be worth trying out the Georeferenced option.- Would you be able to run your workspace with feature caching enabledand then checking on the Coordinate System line item in your Feature Information Window? We can see if it gets set at all or if there’s maybe some other issue with the data or transformer.
