Geolocation in SKP - Latitude Longitude

[JlukJluk]

when I used Sketchup 8 I had a plugin: LatLon

It allowed to give the longitude and latitude of a point

in a location-based model

this plugin no works in SKP 2015

I seek and can not find a tool to achieve this

help me please

What if you use 'Add Location....', one of the tools in 'Google' toolbar.
Select it and just type the desired lat and long (or long and lat) in the search field and hit [Enter]
Example: type 3w,55n [Enter] or 55n,3w [Enter] to end up somewhere in Brittain
(don't know who lives there?!, but anyway)

Then select the presented region and 'Grab' it to import both the snapshot and the terrain into your model.

If you don't wish these groups to stay in your model, unlock them and delete them.

You may be able to go to 'Model Info' > Geolocation > and change both lat and long there. I'm not sure if this is a pro feature only. And if you make changes here, SketchUp will delete both groups for you.

Note that you'll have the correct solar north angle (not necessarily exactly the green axis) by using 'Add Location...'. Just entering Lan/Lon the way you seek isn't going to adjust solar north.

My tool http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=coordstexttagtoolfromdatum
Lets you input a datum coordinate in Lat/Lon [or XYZ] then pick other points relative to that and get their value as a text-tag...

Thanks TIG, it's the solution i need.

Now I can take anywhere point in my model and know its géolocation based to the référence of "the center".NSEW

The plugin stability is no good, but i have one time for copy the Longitude and Latitude références and SKP Crash. If you want a repport please send me a reply.

Thanks Wo3Dan, for your reply.

Of course I'd like a report if one of my Plugins is not working as expected.
Run it with the Ruby Console open and send any error-messages.
Please explain the steps you take to add a coord-text-tag and what you then do to initiate a 'crash'.
Why do you need to copy the coords' lat/long ?
Also explain what you consider to be a 'crash'.
