Brian Nitz Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 Im currently building out a long table and for some reason, the object is hard to manipulate and its geometry is all over the place when working on a certain file. I was even able to make the table correctly in a different file but once I copied it over it started experiencing the same issue. I'm not the original person to have made the file so I imagine its some kind of setting issue. Below you can see Table 1 which is what I was able to make and is fine, but table 2 is missing chucks and is all over the place. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment

Phillip Tripp Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 Pat, just read your suggestion for the Objects Far Out Warning and one of the potential solutions including georeferencing the file. I wasn't aware georeferencing would help this situation. Is that a guaranteed solution or sometimes works solution? We usually delete all the nonsense stuff beyond the project site, but if georeferencing saves us a cleanup step every time we get junky files from others, that's a win. Quote Link to comment

That is exactly it, we had some imported objects from AutoCAD that were way off into the distance, thank you very much for the help! 2 Quote Link to comment

No it will not solve every issue. If you want to have objects that display location data that is far from Zero,Zero, then you will need to Georeference the objects to put them closer to the origin to avoid the far out object problem. But just georeferencing a file that has objects very far away from each other will not solve the problem. You will still need to locate and move or delete the incorrect objects.

Tom W. Posted September 18, 2024 Share Posted September 18, 2024 I believe I'm correct to say that all files are Georeferenced by default. The only question is which geographic coordinate system the file is set up to use + the location of the Internal Origin relative to that coordinate system. If you want your geometry to be geolocated (i.e. you want it to have a specific location relative to the globe) then unless your project happens to be within 5km of the Washington Monument for a US file or 5km of the Greenwich Meridian for a UK file that geometry will be too far away from the Internal Origin + you will need to 'spin the globe' so to speak to reposition the geographical location you are interested in so that it falls under the Internal Origin.
