      Hold to this idea, Ward. Let me develop a thing or two in mind and we can come back to it.

      As for including "rich html" to the description I have made this "feature request" several times and was told that they consider it very exciting and it might be a future development either the SU-to-WH exporter or a WH feature in the future. I'd be dying to be able to do it.

      Do you also deal with other kind of GE stuff (beside 3D models)? Because you can already do many things on GE. I'd simply like to ad stuff to 3D model descriptions just what I can already do in GE.

        Hey Csaba,

        Sounds exciting! Let me know if Google decides to include this in the 3d progress.
        It would be nice to include some more text or images in the model description.

        The Markiezenhof:
        Still working on the model, size is now 1,1 mb. When I'm done modelling I will clean the model by optimising en resizing textures.

        The three buildings on the left are the library and the children library.
        The building in the middle is a restaurant, and the large building on the right with the arched gate is a part of the museum.

            Here are some GIFs comparing SU and digi photo.
            Just a rough comparison, I still need to add quite a few features like chimneys etc.

            The restaurant part:

                Hey phmeier,

                Thank for your comment.
                I don't use Photomatch, to be honest I haven't even tried it... 😳 (All those lines confuse me, I wouldn't know where to start!)

                Anyways, I take digital photos and use them for reference, for example a door is about 2,10 m high. Then I can get a pretty good idea how tall the rest of the building is.

                Good luck modelling your city!

                Regards,
                Ward

                      Improving the tower:

                      Middle image is the old model, left is the improved model. I added photo textures, looks much better now!
