Revit Risa Questions

We are in the process of doing a project using Revit Structure. The issue that we are running into is the coordination of the location of the building framing with the architectural revit model.

When we bring in the model it places it at a given location (and rotated 180 degrees) from the architectural model that has already been created. Is there a way to adjust where it brings in the revit model without bringing it in and manually moving it?

FYI the next project we intend to start with the risa model in order to determine where the other disciplines start their revit models (unless there is a way to easily fix it).

A better place to ask Revit Q's is Revit City.com or AUGI.

Nevertheless one way to coordinate the models is to use the shared coordinates feature of Revit. You will need to determine the coordinates of the Architecture model and use specify coordiates at a point in the RS model, and orient true north to project north similar to what the architectural model uses. Then the brought in Arch model should match your model.
There are probably a couple of other ways to do this as well, but again this is probably best asked on the sites I mentioned.
