Coordinate Locator

Introduction

If you are a Revit user looking for a fast and precise way to locate markers in any coordinate you need, then the "Coordinate Locator" plugin is the perfect tool for you. This application allows you to mark points with a new family instance, using either a default marker provided or any family type that allows positioning in XYZ points. With support for multiple coordinate systems and language options, this plugin is a versatile solution for your Revit projects.

Features

The "Coordinate Locator" plugin offers a range of features that make it a valuable addition to your Revit toolkit. One of the key features is the ability to input any XYZ coordinate, referenced on any of the three coordinate systems of the Autodesk Revit files: Internal Origin, Survey Point, and Project Base Point. This flexibility allows you to work with different coordinate systems based on your project requirements.

Another important feature is the option to choose between metric (meters) or imperial systems (decimal feet) for inputting values. This ensures that the plugin can adapt to your preferred unit of measurement, making it easier for you to work with the coordinates in a way that is most comfortable for you.

The plugin also provides support for user-created family instances, allowing you to customize the markers according to your project needs. However, it is important to analyze the origin location inside the family to ensure accurate positioning of the markers. In addition, the application automatically shows you the types of family instances that are usable for your selection, making it easier for you to choose the appropriate marker for your project.

Usability

The "Coordinate Locator" plugin is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with a simple interface that makes it easy to input coordinates and locate markers in your Revit projects. The ability to choose between different coordinate systems and units of measurement gives you the flexibility to work with the plugin in a way that is most convenient for you.

One of the key considerations when using the plugin is the accuracy of locating elements at coordinates in X and Z of more than 32000 meters. The plugin may start to lose accuracy at this point, so it is important to keep this limitation in mind when working with large-scale projects. However, for most standard projects, the plugin offers precise and reliable results for locating markers at the desired coordinates.

Another useful feature of the plugin is the support for multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Arabic. This makes the plugin accessible to a wide range of users around the world, regardless of their native language.

Conclusion

The "Coordinate Locator" plugin is a valuable tool for Revit users who need to locate markers in any coordinate with speed and precision. With support for multiple coordinate systems, units of measurement, and language options, this plugin offers versatility and ease of use for a wide range of projects. Whether you are working on small-scale or large-scale projects, the "Coordinate Locator" plugin can help you accurately position markers in your Revit models.
