Tip: If I know the building’s street address I might use the LOCATE button from the MAP tab of the ArcGIS Ribbon to help me locate that address in my scene.

The linear units of the PRJ file will indicate to ArcGIS how to properly handle the coordinates stored in the Revit model either Imperial or Metric. If the display units in the Revit Model are feet or inches, similarly the units of the coordinate system definition MUST be feet. NOTE: If your Revit model is metric (Meters, cm, mm, etc…) the linear units of your coordinate system definition in the PRJ file MUST be METERS. This can be different than the coordinate definition of the ArcGIS Scene and other data in that scene.
Because the units of a Revit model are NEVER drawn in Latitude and Longitude I will NEVER be selecting a global coordinate system definition (PRJ) to associate with my Revit model. I must select a PRJ file that is suitable for my data and the units of the coordinates in the definition MUST the display units I have set in the Revit model – either Imperial or Metric.
This transformation (WLD3) file is simply an ascii file containing three sets of to and from points that define a 3D coordinate transformation. The georeferencing tools in ArcGIS Pro allow me to create a coordinate transformation file that ArcGIS Pro will read and use to apply the appropriate offsets each time a CAD or a Revit file is opened in ArcGIS Pro.
