Importing Google Maps into SketchUp Models - The SketchUp Essentials #8

PLEASE NOTE: IN SKETCHUP 2017, SKETCHUP LOST THE FUNCTIONALITY TO IMPORT MAPS AND TERRAIN FROM GOOGLE MAPS. TERRAIN AND SATELLITE IMAGERY IS NOW ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE PRO VERSION OF SKETCHUP. MAP DATA CAN STILL BE IMPORTED IN THE FREE SKETCHUP MAKE VERSION.

One of the most powerful things about SketchUp is the way that it integrates with both Google Maps and Google Earth.

Originally, SketchUp was purchased by Google, who then built in a lot of useful tools for geolocating models created in the software. Since then, SketchUp has been purchased by Trimble, but those geolocation tools remain active in SketchUp.

This SketchUp tutorial will teach you how to import Google Maps into your SketchUp models. You can use these maps to ensure that your models are accurately located in the real world (you can even export your models into Google Earth). This is a very simple, powerful process.

I frequently import GE terrain data into Sketchup using small close up sections (tiles). Is there a way to line up the tile edges of multiple imported GE terrain swatches? I have been doing it by eye, and the overlaps have made it difficult to get elevation/ topography lines to match up. Thanks in advance

I fly drones and generate geotagged digital elevation models and 3d terrain models by photogrammetry. Is it possible to bring these models into sketch up and what file types can be imported? Thanks. Really like your videos.

When I was importing my google maps into SketchUp, only Digital Globe and Bing maps show up. How can I get Google Earth maps to show up for Geolocation?

The new Google terrain is very low resolution. Just because Google is evil.
