So first off, I’m not a programmer but have this idea and have been messing around with ChatGPT, I get close but doesn’t quite work maybe it’s not possible ? The extension is for importing Civil 3D files that have a coordinate system ( would also like shp files but CAD is the priority) and what I want from this script is to either check or ask for what version of QGIS you have installed so it can get the paths correct. Then see if your SketchUp model is geolocated and if it is, to get the latitude and longitude of the model axis, then ask for what file you want to import and what coordinate system said file is in, then use the proj library installed with QGIS (C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.34.5\share\proj) to convert the said file to your geolocated Sketchup model. Would like this to work both ways, when done, export file that gets converted back to orginal coordinate system. Using the proj library would take all the mathematicals needed out of the equation. Is this possible or am I way off base ? Would any developer be interested ?
