I am using EarthAnchorPoint and Export (to KMZ) to insert a model into Google Earth. Everything works except for the north orientation. Regardless of how I set the compass orientation plane (by providing North and East points in the EarthAnchorPoint command), north is always oriented to the World Y-axis.
Is anyone else having this problem? Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
My software: Version 5 SR12 64-bit / (5.12.50810.13095, 8/10/2015)
Thanks

Hi Jason - it looks wrong to me as well. I’ll look into it, thanks.

I just stumbled across this same problem. The latitude/longitude appears to set correctly, but North and East are wrong no matter what direction is chosen. It does appear to always align North to World Y-axis. I’m using Rhino 6 SR24.
It looks like the value may not be getting set correctly in the KML. See https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/models. I can manually edit the KMZ/KML file that is output and get it to orient correctly.
Hi @pascal,
Was this ever fixed? I am trying this now, and think I have the same issue that is described above.
Thanks,
Josh
Hi @pascal,
Yes, angle is showing as as non 90 (139 in the model im looking at now), but I’ve tried a few different models to test. And checked with a colleague to make sure it wasn’t just something in my Rhino set up.
Im using R7SR5. Putting the angle in through command window using the EarthAnchorPoint command.
Thanks,
Josh
Hi Josh - yep I see… I’ll see if we can fix this.

This bug is fixed and the fix will ship with Rhino 7.11.
