Converting GPS Coords to Cartesian Coords?

Hi All,

I’m trying to work up a model of my house that I recently bought. I used photo match (with some success) to build out a rough patio, and then used PolyCam to get my garage into a model. But it’s a 0.25 acre sloped lot, on the corner. I would like to build out the rest so as to start planning for a fence and other upgrades, but I’m struggling to figure out how to get the deed converted into 0,0,0 coords.

I found another thread where they recommended a plugin by TIG, and I’ve got it installed, but I’m a little confused as to how to input the numbers I have on my plat and the numbers I have in the plugin.

I’m attaching a few screenshots to see if you all have any advice. They don’t have the pins specifically called out, its more like they have the distance and direction called out instead of noting the gps of the pins themselves. Is that right?

Thanks for any help yall can give me,

T.

I found a video online and paired it with converting the coords to decimals and the location feature. I can get the shape by the terrain is a bit janky. Oh well. I’ve got it somewhat settled. Thanks for the help
