Z Axis aligns with the Earth's axis of rotation.

From you post I assume you need not worry about the sea level issue.FYII assume you use this site which I assume uses differential GPS and should be very accurate.X Axis points to the Equator/Prime Meridian (Greenwich) intersection. There are some free programs to do, TRIMBLE sends correct data over phone lines also, could not find my info that maybe for NAD 27. For tides etc.My machine must have some issues it does not include the geo info discussed above.If you are going to input geo data into SU then the first step is to convert you data from UTM to NAD 83. In addition because of the spherical curve fits in the NAD 83 and how sea level is defined some locations change their sea level info for there locales since the NAD 83 datum does not account for all the parameters for say things like bridge clearance ( boats) etc. State plane is usually used in the CONOUS and UTM other places. And of course have some errors associated with them. Otwelleng:The first issue I’m having seems to be how to accurately geolocate within SketchUp, so that I can tie my.skp to the coordinates in C3D.Īny advice on how to locate based on lat/long, utm,Both SU and GE use the NAD 83 The State plane and UTM are basically conformal transformation used in mapping. Any advice on how to locate based on lat/long, utm, etc would be appreciated.If I simply import contours from C3D to SU and then to GE, my world jumps from Colorado to South Dakota.Ultimately, the goal is to combine survey data from our office, with sketchup data from the architects to establish view corridors so that the surrounding mountains can be seen from the site through the removal of as few trees as possible.Thanks in advance for your help!Cheers,Fletcher. Exporting a.kmz from AutoCAD does land in the correct location, though wrong altitude in Google Earth.The first issue I’m having seems to be how to accurately geolocate within SketchUp, so that I can tie my.skp to the coordinates in C3D.

My.dwg is properly georeferenced in a state plane coordinate system, and I’d like to maintain that through this process if possible. I now have a conundrum that has not been discussed and I’d appreciate your help working through this.As a land surveyor, I’m working with contours and point data in Civil 3D, and I need to bring them into SketchUp with an accurate geolocation that will ideally allow me to export a.kmz and view in Google Earth. Greetings!First, thanks for some great answers over the years from this community.
