In SU, read the value of ModelTranslationX, ModelTranslationY from the model's GeoReference AttributeDictionary. Now your model is part of the FeatureSet, inheriting its coordinate frame. In ArcCatalog10, create a new FeatureSet in your geodatabase (I call it "3D_Models"), using your original coordinate system (I guess you should use UTM if you started your modelling inside Sketchup and georeferenced it via its Google Earth link), then use the "Import 3D Files" from the Toolbox to import the file "Model.DAE" into a new Multipatch FeatureClass (let's call it "Model") inside 3D_Models.

Now, how to place them in ArcGIS10:Įxport a file, let's call it "Model.DAE", (Collada DAE, not SKP version 6) from SU8. It contains added functionality like the ability to import and export different file formats, access to a 2D documentation software, layout tools, and a Style Builder that lets you create custom edge styles for models. Error: Graphics card information is missing.
SketchUp requires 2 GB or more of system RAM. For more information about inserting reference models, see Insert a reference model. Error: Your computer’s system RAM is 0 MB. Tekla Structures supports Sketchup version 2019 and earlier in import.
This may cause tests regarding System RAM, Windows version and/or graphics card memory to fail. I started the models still with the SU plugin in ArcGIS9.3, which means they have a proper Georeference AttributeDictionary. SketchUp Pro: SketchUp Pro (695) is the premium version of the software. :Error: Something went wrong while retrieving the system information from your computer. After some tries, this is the way I found for models which I built.
