Google Earth Mars
-
Have you seen this new feature of google earth??
We can start placing our models on the martian surface.
I did't have time to make a model, but i did something that i had imagined some time ago, the best place for one of TaffGoch Geodesic Domes, the edge of the Olympus Mons Caldera lol, i think it looks nice, what do you think?

That's a Darn Big Vulcano - watch what you are playing there!

I've just tried placing a simple model under the water, and it worked with some problems.
First you have to place the model in sketchup well under the coordinates of the map you get from GE, it seems that the highest point in any underwater topography you import will always be 0 in sketchup.
And to view the model in GE from an underwater perspective you have to turn the water surface off, so no cool pictures from below the seas for the sketchup fans, wich is disapointing.
