Your site is in Kronshagen, correct?
Kronshagen.
Your have two issues:
- The shapefile’s is using a projection for the Netherlands but your site is in another country.
- The shapefile’s projection is not in Map3D’s coordinate system library.
You’ll need to perform two tasks. First you’ll need to add the coordinate system known as EPSG 4647. Then you’ll need to add the shapefile to your drawing and at the same time, overwrite the old CS and use the newly created CS in its place. This is how you can do the tasks.
You’ll create a new CS. Instead of creating one from scratch, you’ll make a copy of an existing CS then make modifications to it. You’ll be making a copy of a CS that’s ‘similar to your’ area because this copy shares some of the same parameters as the one you’re about to create. Your goal is to save the CS in the library so it’s available for you to use in a later part of this procedure.
1. Open the Coordinate System Library.

2. Make a copy of ETRS89.UTM-32N. Select the copied CS then click the EDIT button. Perform steps 1 thru 5 exactly as shown below.

3. On the Coordinate System page make the changes exactly as shown below.

4. On the Projection page make the changes shown below then click the SAVE button. Exit the Coordinate System library. You will assign a CS to modelspace next.

5. Back in your drawing, use MAPCSASSIGN command to give model space an ‘assigned’ coordinate system. Search ETRS89.UTM then highlight ETRS89.UTN-32N (EPSG 25832) and click the ASSIGN button.

6. Next, open the Data Connect palette (MAPCONNECT) then click Add SHP connection and Connect. The shapefile will display Netherlands-RDNew which is INCORRECT. Click Edit Coordinate Systems as shown below.

7. Highlight RD_New under the name column then click Edit as shown below. Search for ETRS89.UTM32 then select the ‘new’ Coordinate System you just created. The Override column will now displays the new CS. Click OK.

8. Back in the Data Connect palette your shapefile’s coordinate system MUST display coordinate systems as shown below. Note: the modelspace CS and shapefile’s CS are not the same. Click Add to Map button then turn on Bing Hybrid.
