Google Earth Object - Scaling mystery

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:28:33 GMT

Folks I've created a Google Earth Object using the Google Earth Connections Add-on in AC12, but it seems to be a different size in the 3D window compared with the 2D window (see image).

Can anyone help me fix this object?

Either no one else has this problem or I'm in Coventry.

I contacted GSHu through my reseller, Applecore:

They suggested re-sizing the object -in the object dialogue- to fit the 2D image.
However I over-layed the survey which indicated that it was the 2D image that was too big so I amended the 2D script to match the object size from -

ADD2 -495.998, -371.998
DRAWINDEX 1
FILL 1
POLY2 4, 7, 0, 0, 991.996, 0, 991.996, 743.997, 0, 743.997 DRAWINDEX 50 PICTURE2 "GE Snapshot 3.jpg", 991.996, 743.997, 0

IF HotspotsIn2D_Insertion THEN
HOTSPOT2 495.998, 371.998
ENDIF

IF HotspotsIn2D_Corners THEN
HOTSPOT2 0, 0
HOTSPOT2 991.996, 0
HOTSPOT2 0, 743.997
HOTSPOT2 991.996, 743.997
ENDIF

to

ADD2 -447.432, -336.683
DRAWINDEX 1
FILL 1
POLY2 4, 7, 0, 0, 894.864, 0, 894.864, 673.365, 0, 673.365 DRAWINDEX 50 PICTURE2 "GE Snapshot 3.jpg", 894.864, 673.365, 0

IF HotspotsIn2D_Insertion THEN
HOTSPOT2 447.432, 336.683
ENDIF

IF HotspotsIn2D_Corners THEN
HOTSPOT2 0, 0
HOTSPOT2 894.864, 0
HOTSPOT2 0, 673.365
HOTSPOT2 894.864, 673.365
ENDIF

And the object now behaves correctly. However I still don't know why or how this has happened so it's worth checking that 2D and 3D match.
