Help.. Distorted shape file, imported through Urbano

Urbano_shp_0105 1.gh (10.8 KB) Hi, I was trying to import the shapefile of the city of Rome from Arcgis to Rhino through a grasshopper plug-in, Urbano.

However, it was heavily distorted (mainly on east-west direction). I would appreciate knowing the solution.

Have this same problem, @kyle090471. Did you ever resolve it?

i do have an almost similar problem. importing shp which was created in MGI - Gauß Krüger Projection, but i´m unable to change the Proj-Parameter from “Urbano ImportSHP” to MGI. also the added “.prj” file is not working.
someone had the same problem?

Hi @ewaldneuhofer @arking.eight @kyle090471
probably it has to do something with different EPSG coordinate systems.
With Heron (install via package manager) you can choose for different coordinate systems.

aha! i thought heron is for maps/ortho-pictures etc. only.
ok, i will try that!
thx so far.

sorry for late: i changed the projection by an online tool. you have to pay, but i didn´t have the time to get deeper into heron or any other projection correction routine.
it worked quite good, one problem was that the source had 3 different coordinate systems, but for my zone it was ok.
