Entity Handling
Merge Coplanar Faces
- Yes – 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.
Coordinate System
Move to Local Coordinate System
- Yes (default) – 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.
File Content
SketchUp Version
Each value represents a version number. The SketchUp Writer will write the SketchUp model under the selected version.
The default is Trimble Version 2021.
Consolidate Appearances
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.
