Importing geo-coordinated DWG and IFC files to UE.

Hi, it is my first time here so if I am asking or using it incorrectly, please let me know.

I am a BIM engineer working with infrastructure projects like roads and bridges. Nowadays, I am looking for the best way and workflow to create a 4D presentation (3D execution phase + time management).

I have been exploring Unreal Engine and its integration with Cesium and Google API Key. However, when I am trying to import new 3D solids (DWG and IFC) using the Datasmith plugin the system loses its geo-coordinates completely.

Even though I can make position adjustments using the axis available it will be extremely hard to do that especially because infrastructure projects have a huge amount of items that must be at the right X, Y, and Z coordinates.

Therefore, I was wondering if someone already overcome an issue like this one and would like to share the solution with the community.

I look forward to reading a response soon. Meanwhile, I will still search for a solution, and if I find one I will post here as well.
