About Geolocation

In this concept video, you will learn geolocation basics.

Geolocation involves defining a coordinate reference system (CRS) for a project by importing it. Geolocation can be used in two ways either:

  • To publish a project, the positioning on a sphere involves the usage of a geodetic CRS that does not include a "projection" on a plane.
  • To address Building and Civil Assemblies projects and design an infrastructure on a flat ground. You can input geodetic coordinates although the values kept in the system are cartesian values. You can select a Geodetic Input mode in the Geolocation panel. Geodetic coordinates are expressed in latitude and longitude degrees.
