GPS coordinates in onshape

hygy_hygy

Hi,

I want to modell a landscape, I have gps coordinates and I will have an ortophoto paired with the coordinates.

How can I import first the GPS coordinates, then the ortophoto to onshape?

regards

Someone was working on something similar to this a while back. This post may help you out:

As I see it was for cnc modelling. I want to design real sized things on that topographic design.
First I want to input somehow the GPS coordinates. lat/lon/height

Thanks, but that is not enough detailed. I have a bounch of gps coordinates as a base.

You can import GPS coordinates and an orthophoto into Onshape by georeferencing the orthophoto to the GPS coordinates and then using the imported data to create a 3D landscape model within the platform.
