Hi,

I wounder if it's possible to set custom name of sketchup groups in the Outliner, using i.e. GeometryPropertySetter and "Traits from attribute"? Basically the same as setting the sketchup_layer_name as trait. I have mananged to group objects using aggregator.

I tried to solve it by the suggested solution on this tread: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/2300/writing-multipatch-features-to-sketchup-groups.html

but couldn't get it to work. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @kidega, have you tried using the "Geometry Name" for "Property to Set" in the GeometryPropertySetter instead? I wonder if that would work for you.

Hi @alyssaatsafe,

Thanks for your suggestion of using "Geometry Name". That did the trick. I used GeometryPopertySetter just after the Aggregator.

Hi @alyssaatsafe,

Do you know if it's possible to also set "Angle between normals" and the option to set "smooth normals", "soften coplanar" in sketchup?

I don't see an obvious way of setting these sketchup parameters in FME. Feel free to add an idea for this functionality, detailing your intended usage.

Thanks for the link with adding Idea. The intended usage is to write a sketchupfile as a template with buildings and terrain with different angle between normals for visual effect and easer reading of those geometries.
