Correcting Snap Issues to Linked Revit Files

Issue:
You cannot snap to any point of the linked Revit model in your project.

Solution:
The reason you cannot snap to any point on a linked in Revit model is because the location of your project is off. What you can do to get your position corrected is the following:
1.     Zoom to fit
2.     Find the Survey point and Base point of your drawing file. (You may need to click on your reveal hidden elements (light bulb) to see these and unhide them.)
3.     Us your move command to move the Base Point closer to your Survey Point
4.     Save your project
5.     From the Manage tab>Coordinates>Acquire Coordinates
6.     Click the Architectural Model
7.     Unload the Architectural model
8.     Re-linking the Architectural Building Model using shared coordinates for the position 
You should now be able to snap to elements in the linked Architectural Building Model.

If this does not work you will need to do the following to move your project into the right position:
1.     What needed to be done is first we need to unlink the architectural model
2.     Close your project
3.     Open up the architectural model
4.     Then link in the structural model using center to center for the position.
5.     In plan view move the structural linked model so it is in line with the architectural model.
6.     Go to Manage and publish coordinates to the structural model from the architectural model.
7.     Click to save the location and exit out of the drawing without saving it. All we needed to do was save the position.
8.     Now open the structural model and link back in the architectural model using shared coordinates as the position.
You should now be in the right position. Save your project back to central
