So, my model has a geolocation, which i guess also came with an altitude. If it did so, is there a way to measure/reference (and therefore adjust) that altitude? The Background being, i have a House plan, and need to put some heights in. Some above sea level and some above/below my local referenc…

Thanks. Reads like there’s no way to pull the absolute height in any way, but for SU there’s a plugin to. Place a label showing the height from the model’s zero point. Will try that. Or has anyone other suggestions?

When you geo-locate a model, the reference data is written into a “GeoLocation” attribute dictionary. See this post for a snippet of Ruby, and the link to a nifty inspector extension to view attribute dictionaries: Finding and Exporting Google Earth Coordinates for survey - #3 by DanRathbun and f…

Thanks Dan. That’s way over my head, but it reads as if a plugin coud potentially read these absolute heights, just like @TIG ’s Coords-Tag from Datum does for the relative height.

Yes he could update that extension (or his TIG: Add Height from Datum extension,) to add the two together, and display absolute elevations rather then relative to the origin’s Z. This option should only be made available, if the model is geolocated and the “GeoReference” dictionary is present. I s…

Above sea level is not a fixed value. It is a strong function of local conditions and in fact some locations in costal regions publish their own information to be used in their locale and probably based on a number of years ( 7 comes to mind) of historical data. The Ordance Survey for England, so…

I don’t think you get elevation so easily. See this topic: How can I check altitude of geolocation infomation? - #3 by genki_tt
