World Coordinates
-
Hi,
I am driving myself nuts. I have a grouped object (created from some contours using the sandbox). When I look at the position Attributes (x,y,z) the results sketchup shows make no sense. For example, the z value is 0 and yet the terrain objects lowest point is 70' off the ground!
I presume this is because the attributes are reporting some sort of local co-ordinate system as opposed to the world coordinate system represented by the main axis!
Q1. How do I get the world coordinates? -- and are those coordinates from 0,0,0 to the center of the object?
Q2. For bonus points -- if I have set a location from google earth, is there any way to translate the coordinates from Q1. into (for example) genuine planetary lat-lon, elevation coordinates?
