Trimble SketchUp Writer Parameters

• Yes (default): This option instructs the writer to reproject features into a local coordinate system. If any of the input features do not have an associated coordinate system, reprojection will be disabled.
• No: Reprojection will not occur.

• Yes: This option instructs the writer to merge coplanar faces with shared edges into a single face. Coplanar faces that overlap or do not share edges will not be merged.
• No (default): Coplanar faces will not be merged.

Each value represents a version number. The SketchUp Writer will write the SketchUp model under the selected version.

The default is Trimble Version 2021.

Consolidating appearances can improve processing time for workspaces that contain a large number of appearances.

Although the default is set to Yes, there may be cases where a workflow requires that appearances not be consolidated (for instance, if subsequent processing requires separate appearances, or if each appearance has different texture parameters [for example, offset, scaling, etc.]).

Appearances that have the same raster reference, diffuse color, and alpha will be consolidated. Any other differences may be lost during consolidation.
