Can I anchor a Sketchup model in the real world

I want to know how I would take my CAD model that I have made based on manual measurements of a property, then physically go to the property and overlay the model onto the property. The goal is to make a previs for my customer of his property.

I assume there is some way to "anchor" my model into the real world property and then make certain the scale is correct. Is there a tutorial for this?

  Hi Mark Naunkovic, this is indeed possible if you're using Meta Quest or Quest Pro. Check out this help center article on how to import your model using our new cloud transfer feature: https://support.arkio.is/hc/en-us/articles/6690344995613-Cloud-import-export

  You can then anchor your scene in the real world and at 1:1 scale using the passthrough feature of Meta Quest and Quest Pro: https://support.arkio.is/hc/en-us/articles/7187427474205-Passthrough-mode

  It's also possible to do the same using AR mode on phones and tablets, although the scene/model won't be anchored in place between session - but still very valuable if you don't have a Quest or Quest Pro.

  If you drop us a line at support@arkio.is we'd be happy to help walk you through the steps required!
