Mescled Grey White Surfaces

Component definition PAV 1 - Oeste.dxf has bits of geometry some 6580 Kilometers from the Origin.

Be sure to prepare a CAD file before import.

Coordinates are via the Query tool. Distances are from SU World Origin

I’m working with Georreferenced DXF, but it seems that SketchUp isn’t considering its coordinates (or I don’t know how to import it correctly).

Thank you Mr. George!

Hi @FranciscoWitt

Look under the Options button when importing files into SU.
There, turn off … Preserve Drawing Origin
This would enable you place the import near the SU Origin.


But this problem of stray geometry thousands of kilometers away would remain.
SketchUp’s OpenGL rendering engine cannot work with such distances.

Hello, dear George.

So, for me, it seems that SketchUp doesn’t allow me to structure my drawing with some DXF files diminishing the Work.
I guess that if I want to have the DXF at its exact position and avoid this problem, then I must to delete it after copying-by-redrawing the desired atributes on Sketch Up.

Again, thank you lot.
