My Sketchup cant communicate with GoogleEarth! HELP!
-
Dunno what is happening. It was a long time that I didnt connect Sketchup with GoogleEarth. But now I decided to make some 3D models for my area... and guess what? Sketchup cant IMPORT GoogleEarth terrain, neither it can EXPORT a model to be geographically positioned in GoogleEarth.
I dunno what to do. Anyone has any idea? I have tons of plugins installed... maybe one of them is causing the problem?

I have no clue what can be going on but move this topic to the bug reports. Hopefully someone will find it there.

AcesHigh,
I can't tell from your message or your profile whether you're using Mac or Windows. Nevertheless, I can at least say that recently, there was a problem with a release of Google Earth that broke SketchUp integration on Mac. The problem was located quickly and a new version of Earth was pushed out to correct the issue, but not before many customers were automatically upgraded to the broken version.
Let's try manually forcing Earth to look for updates. Perhaps you're running on an outdated version and your problem will go away if you upgrade.
In Google Earth, go to Help...Check for Updates Online. That's what it is on Mac; I can't remember for Windows. If an update is available, download and install it. Then try again.
Let us know what you find.

Hi Andrews. I am using Vista 64.
I dont think the problem is with GoogleEarth... because... well, because I installed an older version of Sketchup (Skt 6) and it worked flawlessly with GoogleEarth. Its only the currently installed Sketchup7 that can communicate with GoogleEarth. I didnt want to uninstall it because of the tons of plugins I have, VRAY, etc...
