Have you ever witness the challenge of working with a model that is started by someone who didn’t know the importance of controlling the project origin!?
As a university and an estate owner do we inherit many models made in projects where the scenario is that someone forgot to control this at an early stage so the model could have been corrected. First when the project comes to the handover phase is it then discovered that this very critical error occurs.
Therefore, I took this challenge to code the bits and pieces to be able to move an entire model including moving elevations, sections, detailing, and 3D views, etc., also including adjustments for grids, crop boxes, views location on sheets. All in all, everything inside the project should be transformed by a given vector.
This work made me walk along many paths, developing a variety of nodes for grouping, views, viewports, and grids. More than 25 nodes have been created.
However, In the final scenario, I ended up only using a few of these nodes, while I continuously tried to figure smarter and smarter ways to tweak data. The nodes developed along the way is released also, while these could be used for other purposes and/or minor other tasks than moving the entire project.

nodes for spatial element (room, space, and area)
nodes for view, viewport etc.
nodes for grouping etc.
nodes for grids etc.
