Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: RevitLinkInstance

RevitLinkInstance.MoveBasePointToHostBasePoint

Method

Description:
Moves this link instance so that the base point in the linked document is aligned to the base point in the host document. This is a one-time movement and does not set up any shared coordinates relationship.

Remarks:
The link must be loaded for Revit to find the location of the link's base point. This operation can only be performed on instances of top-level links.
