I know how to locate project origin at a corner of my building. Then, I go to GE and locate the coordinates of that same site corner, and enter as the project coordinates.

Presumably that should be the origin point that is saved out with the .kmz file and GE should drop the model into the GE image at that same point. However, GE drops the model in somewhere else, like the middle of the site, not the corner which matches my project origin.

Any thotz? In any case, dropping a model into a narrow street in NYC with many other buildings, trees, etc. does not seem to work well, as the GE image covers much of my model. It would appear a greenfield site is the only one that will work for this kind of exercise.
