My Project is composed Revit 2023 and DWG (2022 and 2023) files. Architectural Revit, MEP in AutoCAD dwg format.

I can upload the rvt using the TC File Uploader Add-In and view the model in the TC desktop application and online without any problem.

When I upload DWG model files, all the dwg files will be aligned to one another but not to the rvt - not even close, I cannot zoom out to fit them into the same window.

If I export the rvt as a dwg it will align with all the other dwg files but loses its assigned colors.

All of the rvt and dwg models have the same positioning (X, Y, Elev, Scale) in TC. 

A couple of the MEP files were provided as Revit models and they align with one another in TC but not with the Arch Revit model. (If I link the MEP Revit or dwg files in the Arch Revit model, they align properly in Revit.)

Any insight on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.

Thank you.

Ok. I got this figured out and thought I would share the info. The issue is related to the Shared Coordinates system. All the dwg MEP models lined up when importing to the main architectural Revit model - linked using the origin point. The MEP model origin points were 0, 0, 0 but the arch Revit model was based on the survey point, the quick fix is to reset the arch Revit Shared Coordinates to 0, 0, 0 and everything lines up as expected in TC. 

Anyway, probably a rookie mistake but hopefully someone finds this info helpful.
