SketchUp Pro version 20.2.172 64-bit. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q I have imported an architect’s IFC file, which they exported from Revit for me. After importing the IFC file into SketchUp, the resulting model behaves very oddly, rendering it unusable for both modelling in SketchUp and draw…

The Revit IFC exporter, like all Revit exporters places the origins of the components it has created to the origin point. Either the original Revit model is rather far from the origin point or the exporter has used the geolocated “shared” coordinates instead of the more manageable project coordinat…

[image] mihai.s: and then use the Eneroth Line Up Axes extension I thought there was an extension to address this. Thanks for pointing it out!

Brilliant! Thank you both very much for your advice. I will try the extension on the whole model and see if that fixes it.

Update. I have managed to remove the behaviour. The model had been imported a long way from the origin point, so I relocated it closer to 0,0,0 and reset the major component axes to 0,0,0. This didn’t solve the issue on its own so I ran Eneroth Line Up Axes. Initially, this didn’t solve the issue e…

Thanks a lot for the link to Eneroth’s extension and thanks too @jrk for asking your question :wink: Maybe you could be interested by that Thread [image] Importing IFC to 0,0,0? Pro Hi there, I’m searching a solution to import directly an IFC at the origine of an SU pro…

Thanks @djoseph . I’m anticipating having to move my model back to project coordinates eventually (although this hasn’t been asked for yet), so your thread is helpful.

cool :wink: … and thanks again for your question :smiley:

Thanks Anssi. Very good of you to offer the advice. That is all in hand but moving at an apparently glacial pace outside of my organisation. I needed to work on the files urgently hence the coordinate change.
