Now, a shared coordinates system, quite simply takes the coordinate system of one of the files and makes it predominate over all of the others. So, in this case I have three files, the office building is the host that I'm in, and then I have a linked site file right here and a linked shed building right here.

So, to get started the first thing I need to decide is which of these three models do I want to be the dominant coordinate system.
