As for the incorrect projection The SketchUp workflow in the current version of ArcGIS is meant to allow you to add detail to existing models. Once your model has been corrected you can try again. There are some plugins that can assist with that. Validate all and make sure all line segments are properly connected and all faces are closed. I can see a number of invalid intersections in your SketchUp model.
#Sketchup pro 7 cannot import google earth how to#
Now, how do I get a textured TIN plus several further raster datasets (usable as projected texture in my edited TIN) plus georeference information into Sketchup to start a new model? (Basically, its SU export macro!)ĭoes anybody know what this is, and how to fix - ArcGIS does not support complex SketchUp geometries. If all worked well, you should have a perfect match! Convert those values to metres, and "Edit 3D features", Select your model Multipatch feature, and "Move." by these amounts. In SU, read the value of ModelTranslationX, ModelTranslationY from the model's GeoReference AttributeDictionary. Now your model is part of the FeatureSet, inheriting its coordinate frame. In ArcCatalog10, create a new FeatureSet in your geodatabase (I call it "3D_Models"), using your original coordinate system (I guess you should use UTM if you started your modelling inside Sketchup and georeferenced it via its Google Earth link), then use the "Import 3D Files" from the Toolbox to import the file "Model.DAE" into a new Multipatch FeatureClass "Model" inside 3D_Models. I would really like to know why and at which point the import of SU6 models (which would come with georeference) fails.ĭAEs exported from SU lack georeference.Īfter some tries, this is the way: Export DAE from SU8. This seems to work, but is a bit awkward and clearly not what's expected from an average user, IMHO. You must tweak your model's coordinate system by adding its offset as stored in the SU model's GeoReference Attribute Dictionary (Values: ModelTranslationX/Y those are given in inches (!), you must convert to your coordinate grid units, most likely metres) to the False Easting/False Northing values, and renaming your coordinate system to make sure you don't forget that you patched it. If you do so by applying the original grid, the model will be placed in your grid, but close to its origin.
In ArcScene10 it was just the silent "failed" message, the only progress in ArcScene10SP2 is the bug-report screen, where I apparently can enter only one line of bug report in the 5-line message field.ĭAEs exported from SU lack georeference. In ArcScene10 I can only successfully import DAE, SKP (V6 and 8) consistently fail. Now we use ArcGIS10 and I should try to re-import my finished models, because the ads say it works out-of-the-box. The SKPs are georeferenced with ESRI's coordinate system string and offset value in Inches from geographical coordinate grid zero, just as the ArcGIS9->SU6 plugin exported it. I used 9.3 with SU plugin to start my model-building in SU6, 7, 8 (free I know I cannot export to ESRI format without SU6pro). Is there any way to georeference the model within ArcGIS?
I found a number of ways to do this but there is an issure with the model not being georeferenced.
