Could work, but you have to write to text file first. maybe you could just call the python code from .NET and pass the string as a command line argument. Or use IronPython and combine .NET and Python in .NET or cimpile your .NET to DLL and call from python.

With Sketchup 6 and Arcmap 9.3 there was a plugin that let you load GIS in Sketchup and Sketchup in GIS - it was really cool. the last time I used Sketchup in GIS was by creating models and then using them as markers (think you have to save the model as a COLLADA - but there are instructions everywhere). You create some points then set the marker as your 3D model. Last I heard, SketchUp got bought by anopther company so haven't used it in a while but think it could be the best option if you don't have CityEngine. The old plugin used multipatch geometry, so if you can find a way to multipatch the skethup model you should be able to bring it in other than as a marker. ... View more

I did a quick test and grabbed a DWG from Autodesk AutoCAD Sample Files | AutoCAD | Autodesk Knowledge Network I get this in GIS the properties are If you can use refname (on the lights the property is Flourescent Fixture - dont know how to set it in CAD) you wold be good. Otherwise, you would have to do something crazy like put each segment on its own layer or make it a unique color. You could convert the CAD to a shapefile and add a field to join on. ... View more

James is right. The answer is to pass args to the python script from the command line. The only other option is using Iron Python, but that is overkill. Just accept args and then use the process execute python.exy myprogram.py param1 param 2.... ... View more

If it returns [object], which it should on evt.result['feature'], then just change the code to evt.result.feature and then it will return the keys for that object (geometry being one). ... View more
