Putting a Sketchup model in its place

It seems this is just location for which point the Shadows is calculated, I guess that is a single point, and not necessarily the center of the coordinate system? More reading here: http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114937

Yeah the name doesn't bode well... And to make matters worse, while I can see this attribute in Viewer and Data Inspector, I can't access it in Workbench.

That's odd, so even if you explicitly expose the attribute with the AttributeExposer you still can't get at it in Workbench?

It doesn't show up in the AttributeExposer, at least not in FME2013 build 13231. Will see if the release candidate makes a difference.

 

Latest beta (13259) doesn't show these attributes either.

I've had cases in the past where this was the case, but the AttributeExposer has always allowed you to free type, so assuming you ensure the correct case I've been able to expose an attribute and then use it even though the UI was not initially aware of it... If that's not the case then you may have a PR on your hands ;0)

Yeah, free typing in the AttributeExposes did the trick. Still, I would expect the attributes to show there anyway, so I'll file a PR for it.

I'm having this problem too, but I don't even see any ShadowOptions (and the AttributeExposer doesn't help either). None of the CRS, projection or "move to world/local coords" parameters on the reader or writer seem to help. Am I missing something?

 

 

I'm using FME 20150623 - Build 15485 - WIN64 and SketchUp 15.3.331.
