Site Model being created extremely far from source & 2D data

[NoemiM]

Hi there! 
I am creating a site model from survey data, and upon creation, the site model gets created very far from the original survey /source data. I have never had this issue before; I always get the site model perfectly aligned with the 2D data. I have followed the same workflow I have followed for the past 5 years, and I cannot track what has gone wrong. I do not want to drag the site model over the 2D survey manually to avoid discrepancies. Do you have any suggestions on what is causing this issue? 

Thanks, 
Noemi

Are you in a 3D view when running the 'Site Model from Source Data...' command? You need to be in Top/Plan when you do it.

Really ....

 

I am sure I will forget about that next time.

 

I was so conditioned that you have to be in a 3D View when exporting 3D.

And as I rarely do any 2D .....

And even lately someone from VW said for IFC (?) you also need to export from

a top plan view.
