You can't rotate or move them.<BR/><BR/>The best workflow I'm aware of is:<BR/><BR/>1. Determine your origin point in Revit. There is a new function during the Earth Connector where you can place a marker there.<BR/><BR/>2. You can move the marker to a more identifiable place (ie corner of building, etc).<BR/><BR/>3. Inside of Google Earth, put a Placemark (Pushpin) at that location. Export it as KML.<BR/><BR/>4. Run Earth Connector - for the model origin, choose to import the KML.<BR/><BR/>5. Optional: if you don't know the Project North, then use a second Placemark in Google Earth to determine "up"?<BR/><BR/>Good Luck,<BR/>MattMatt Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505746985622750229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23382408.post-5322260371306292262008-09-26T18:42:00.000-04:002008-09-26T18:42:00.000-04:00I just downloaded the Earth Connector for Revit. I...I just downloaded the Earth Connector for Revit. Is there a way to modify the kmz file to change, for instance, north orientation or insertion point?<BR/>Right now I've been having to run the Earth Connector inside Revit and triangulate my way toward proper insertion location and rotation relative to north.Mike Sealanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187507868891037261noreply@blogger.com
