Column centers, foundation edges, gridline intersections.
Use the to swing the building into alignment with a second known survey boundary point. Pro-Tips for Managing Linked Points Utilize Tags (Layers)

Action | How to Do It -------------------------------------|------------------------------------- Lock inference to a point | Hover point → press Shift Link roof to wall height (dynamic) | Add attribute: =WallHeight+100 Find broken point links | Right-click component → Dynamic Components → Formula Errors Export point-linked model to IFC | Use IFC Manager plugin, check "Export constraints" Unlink a point | Delete dynamic attribute or explode component
Building the Future: Mastering SketchUp Building Point Link BuildingPoint is an authorized distributor for sketchup building point link
Your building is a system of points. Link them well, and you will spend 80% less time fixing broken models and 100% more time designing.
) match the primary survey control point on-site. Moving the model axis after placing points will break the link. Column centers, foundation edges, gridline intersections
Wall intersections, window openings, finish lines.
: A similar alternative for creating flat faces from 3D objects, often used for complex or non-box shapes. Link them well, and you will spend 80%
A "building point link" in the context of SketchUp generally refers to the process of importing and linking spatial data (points, coordinates, or point clouds) to create accurate 3D models based on real-world measurements. This can take two main forms:
Bring geometry closer to 0,0,0 and use an origin offset plugin to preserve real coordinates. Imperial/Metric scale mismatch during file import.
