I’m trying to create a plan view of my property as the basis for a landscape design. I know the x,y position of many objects on the property as well as the property corners. I can’t find a way to enter these coordinates and then either connect several of them with straight lines (pencil tool) or loc…

We’re just passing things along to Maps API, and if anything has changed, it’s that Maps API has an issue. If that somehow got broken, the workaround would be to find one of the many web sites that convert DMS to decimal.

@Barry , even trying to copy/paste or type degree symbol into Ruby Console is impossible… it does not come in as… ##8 º but another symbol with an accent… 8º I think that’s being past on to Google Maps… however, I also thing the escapes sent for the feet and inch break the javascript as well… …

My pet peeve on Mac now is "Smart " you name it: quotes, copy/paste, etc… a few things are getting too cute, and pasting from TextEdit to Ruby Console and other apps mucks things up. For the record, I went into System Preferences->Keyboard-Text and turned off smart quotes & dashes and fixed up my …

I’ve searched high and low and can find no answer on the internet, so I’m posting here. I have a model I’ve already built. It’s a flat runway. I’ve moved my axes origin to the center of the end of the runway. I’ve also rotated my N-S-E-W axes 14.4 degrees to represent true north so the runway is…

[image] jimbabwe: I have a model I’ve already built. It’s a flat runway. I’ve moved my axes origin to the center of the end of the runway. Right now, when I import it into Google Earth, after having MANUALLY entered the geo-location, it is not showing in the right location. It seems that the…

[image] jimbabwe: I’ve also rotated my N-S-E-W axes 14.4 degrees to represent true north so the runway is in the correct orientation. However, doing so does not rotate my model nor does SU rotate so that green is UP on in SU. Hi Jim, I see by your profile you’re using SU 14 Make. IIRC, eve…

Hi Jim. Thanks. Unfortunately, that thread doesn’t help me. Additionally, I don’t have Pro. I have SU Make.

Thanks, George. Sure, I can change the geographic coordinates, BUT, WHERE in the model is the point which represents the location? It doesn’t seem to be where the drawing axes meet nor is it represented in any way. I rotated the drawing axes 14.4 degrees to represent true north. I don’t have an …
