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.
You can also use QGIS To import your SHP/ OSM/ Vector File and reexport it with the right coordinate system by right clicking on the layer with the objects and choose export layer objects as.
It’ll give you the function to choose the coordinate system. It’s free software. Worked for me since Heron SHP import component keeps crashing when importing large datasets.
Hi @robbiebruinz ,
Could you post a link to a large dataset you have issues importing with Heron’s ImportVector component? I’d like to see if I can troubleshoot it.
