What you suggested with the vector and hybrid selections

yes your right, i followed; file - insert - .skp file

I have also gone through the face styles as you suggested and i still dont have the detail from the google earth image.

If i upload the houses example as a .skp file, would you be able to insert it as a model into your layout to see if it is fault in the .skp file or in my layout programme?

also did you just insert it as a image or as a sketch up file?

When creating a style i only get the following options in the menu

When i add a model from SetchUp into the Layout programme it doesnt include the detailed image from the google earth image.

I have played around with the different styles in the panel on the right in layout, checked its been rendered, tried both vector and raster but nothing seems to work.

At most i end up with a coloured blob of a square with no detailing.

Attached is a snapshot of the most i seem to be able to get from the google image.

Has anyone else had the same problem or know of a solution?

Many thanks,

Only the green colouring from the image
