When you do a measured placement the results are stored in Trimble Connect and are available for any future visits to site, for you and any others who use the model and access it from your Trimble Connect project. Having a single depth surface such as the property boundary makes setting the elevation simple because both the top and bottom of the model in that location are at the same elevation. The arrows show the land parcel surface and property corner in the SketchUp model: In the image below a measurement was made with the SiteVision GNSS at property corner 151, and this property corner was selected in the model to position the model correctly. When doing the measured placement, measurements are made with the SiteVision system at two property corners these are used to position and orientate the model on site. In the example below the designer has added the property lines to the model: Ideally, these will be points that can be referred to throughout the construction process. When using the measured placement method, it is important to include in your design some reference points that you can use to position the model on site. Measured placement is ideal for users who are unfamiliar with co-ordinate systems or for designers that have used an arbitrary reference (e.g. If high resolution textures are required then the number of such textures should be managed appropriately. Care should be taken to ensure textures are an appropriate level of detail. Note that very high resolution (4k) textures can quickly consume device memory, a large number of high resolution textures can result in models failing to load.

For best visualization in SiteVision apply material textures to individual object faces.When preparing your SketchUp models, note the following: To use the 3D model in SiteVision you will need to georeference the model in some way to connect the model co-ordinate system to the real world.
