Model placed on Google Earth |
Step 1:
Create an accurate, perspective-based model of your house, building or complex in SketchUp.
Step 2:
Finalize and export this SketchUp drawing as a *.KMZ file and voilà, you will find your finished model displayed on the precise spot on Google Earth.
What are the potential benefits of having a SketchUp model of a building on Google Earth?
A SketchUp model of your building on Google Earth provides you with a view of your building (regardless of the stage of its completion) in the correct geographical context. The advantages of having such an image accessed by thousands of people every day are many, including:
Helps customers find your exact place within a strip mall
Helps developers and architects imagine what a building will look like in context of its surroundings
What other creative ideas do you have for using Google Earth?
A potential customer can zoom down on your office building, then go right through the front door and look inside.
A 3D model of a hotel placed accurately relative to the real world can serve as an inexpensive way for visitors to see where the hotel is located in relation to golf courses, shops and beaches.
It is a great way to make and present models of proposed developments to clients, and create several possible design scenarios to be viewed in context.
Hi Friends,
Google sketch-up is a software, easy to learn 3D modeling program with a few simple tools to let you create 3D models of houses, sheds, home additions, and even space ships. Thanks a lot!
