Hello,
I’m working with a .skp file where I’ve imported a topo survey and geo-located it in Sketchup. I would like to take GPS coordinates of trees and other landmarks on the lot and import them into my geo-located file so the locations of these objects are accurately represented inside Sketchup.
In searching the forums all I’m coming up with is threads on geo-locating a file and not anything for adding GPS points into an already geo-located file. Would appreciate anyone who can point me to a solution for this.
What is the datum (origin) point for your GPS coordinates? As I recall, you would need to convert those coordinates so their datum matches the origin in the SketchUp file. For example if I have GPS coordinates for features at the location shown, I would need to convert those coordinates so they are relative to the point indicated.
You could do that with a spreadsheet and generate a file that could then be imported as a point cloud.
If it’s not too later, I thought of an old plugin that might be helpful for you. It will display the latitude and longitude of the point you click on in a geolocated model.
