Hello,
I wanted to ask about coordinates within Speckle. When sending a model from Rhino to Speckle and from Revit to Speckle, I found that the models do not match in terms of coordinates. When then receiving from Speckle to either software, is it possible to get the coordinates to match?
And in a general sense, is it possible to get coordinates to match from any software?
As for Geolocation, I was looking into Geospeckle and wanted to check a few things. Is the source code for Geospeckle available yet? And is there another method of geolocation in Speckle available at the moment or would it be through GIS connectors such as QGIS?
I have found the source code since I posted this. The rest of my questions still apply.
Hi @HadiAram ! At the moment only QGIS and ArcGIS connectors are sending the model together with real-world geolocation information. If you want to combine them with non-geolocated models, you can use GeoSpeckle to assemble multiple models with different geographic location, e.g. like this. But this will not be using Speckle Viewer.
If you want to match non-geographic coordinates, how do you see it happening? In Revit connector (v2) there is an option to send a project in relation to the Project Base Origin instead of Internal Origin (assuming your Rhino project is aligned with that Project Base Origin). If there is no point of alignment between Revit and Rhino models, this will take more work, for example writing your automation to move the model accordingly after every new version (open beta for Automate coming soon).
Ok, thank you for the explanation. I believe that is what we are looking for.
