Abstract
This paper explores the implementation and utility of the geo-location features within Trimble SketchUp 2021. As Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D visualization increasingly require integration with real-world site data, the ability to accurately georeference models becomes critical. This analysis details the workflow for acquiring high-resolution aerial imagery and terrain data, the mathematical handling of coordinate systems, common troubleshooting methodologies regarding the "imperial/metric" terrain bug, and the application of these features in professional architectural workflows.
