GPS coordinates
-
hi,
How can I get real world GPS coordinates [latitude, longitude] for multiple components’ origins after I have set the whole model’s global position and orientation?
thanks for your time in advance

Type/Copy+Paste
puts "Latitude = \t"+Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info["Latitude"].to_s+"\n"+"Longitude = \t"+Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info["Longitude"].to_sinto the Ruby console to get the Model's Lat/Long...
Note this too...
latlong=Geom::LatLong.new([Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info["Latitude"],Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info["Longitude"]]) Sketchup.active_model.latlong_to_point(latlong)returns a point based on latlong
We want the inverse -point_to_latlong(point)
To find the equivalent latlong of a Group or Instance will be much more complex...
There has already been some work on this by John WS Hibbs see http://www.swajime.com/ruby/swa.txt [save it asswa.rbfile]
It returns lat/long of any point, but you will need to tweak the code to get the latlong ofipoint=Geom::Point3d.new(instance.transformation[12],instance.transformation[13],instance.transformation[14]) -
