Archicad 16 Sketchup Plugin Export How To Make SketchUp
Archicad 16 Sketchup Plugin Export Software And Then

The model had been setup the absolute coordinates system and export from Revit as DXF format.

When import to SketchUp with Preserve drawing origin option checked, the model looked very strange,please see the snapshot of the model in SketchUp.

To see both in one viewport may not be possible (great distance between the two) making both seem to disappear (too small to see).

Yes, you are right, when preserved the coordinates, the model will be far away from the origin point of SketchUp.

When loading a google map, the centre of the map will be at the origin point.

Hopefully you can understand my question, as I myself almost get confused.

Thanks.

As my best knowledge, the only way to geo-locating a model in SketchUp is to add a terrain by grab a google map into the software and then move the model to align them together.

This means the model itself coordinates has been got lost (because when imported, the preserve drawing origin option has been cleaned) and take the new xyz coordinates from the terrain.

Yes, it somewhat keeps the coordinates information of the model.

However, I really want to see my geo-located model can match the google map automatically, not by manual moving.

Any plugin can do this Or maybe I need some front-line knowledge to refresh my brain.

Geolocation defines the relationship between the model coordinates origin and real world coordinates.

Conversely, once a model is geolocated, the model-space origin maps to the geolocation.

As to manually setting the geolocation, look at Model Info-Geo location.

Revit also has a survey point system that can be used to geolocate and orient the model to the real world - quite analogically to the geolocation in SketchUp.

What I concern is how to make SketchUp read the coordinates information from the imported model, meaning recognize a GIS model as Geo-located.

I dont know of a way to get geolocation from Revit (or Archicad) to SketchUp intact (or the other way round).

I just like to see if there has a bridge between them and make them work together without any issues.

Yesterday my colleague told me that 2016 Pro version maybe has the feature to keep the coordinates, but seems no, again.

I can work with them by manually moving the model for now, but I really, really, really want to see SketchUp can do it for me automatically, as I have so many models need to do so.

So if the model is far from the origin, it will be far also in IFC.
