I’m wondering if anyone has a work flow for 3D Data, specifically 3D buildings, and locating them accurately.  Currently, I have accurately mapped building footprints, based on our floorplans, which are georeferenced.  I use those floorplans in SketchUp and create a 3D model, but it does not have coordinate information.  Using the SketchUp tools to georeference are not accurate enough.  Exporting to collada and importing to multipatch and then moving the multipatch to the proper location is not accurate enough as I can’t get it to snap properly to data that I know is accurate. I can basically rotate, and move, but can do that with accuracy.  I’m sure there is a better workflow and way to do it, I welcome more experienced folks to chime in.  Thanks again NEARC community, this is a great group and a great resource.
