Project location - where is it placed?

Martin2000 — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 17:11:59 GMT

Im trying to wrap my head around the project location function, as I want to accuratley place my drawings into google earth.

In Archicad you get the option to place the drawing to a specified real world coordinate. My problem is that I dont understand where in the Archicad drawing this inputted project location corresponds to. In the location settings you can place these coordinates - but then where do they go? I need them placed on a corner of a building im working on, so that this building gets placed at the correct location in google earth, but I dont understand how to do this last step.

There has to be a step im missing here. Any input is very much appreciated.

The user origin is where the model will be populated based on your coordinates.

So if you want the coordinates on Google Earth to be the corner of your building you need to put your model corner at the user origin.

(The user origin is the small x or 0,0,0 in the model.
