Google Earth into Sketchup?

Hehe. That's a neat, slanting shoreline!

Charly, at the recent 3dBaseCamp, it was noted by the SketchUp developers that the resolution of the terrain will (if the data is available in Google's database) be imported at a higher resolution if your grab area is smaller. For instance, if you have a smaller building site on the island then grab it as well but making the grab only as big as you need. It can allow you to get higher resolution where you need it most by combining it with the big grabs.
They also noted that the terrain in SUv8 can actually be higher resolution than it appears in Google Earth. SketchUp now has access to the same source database that is used by Google Earth. The difference is Google Earth down-samples if the database file has excessive resolution whereas SketchUp can bring it in full resolution if the grab area is relatively small. Apparently there are some limited areas of the world in the database that have resolution the equivalent of 6" contour intervals!

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the note. What I meant is that for example the floor plan of the Roman Villa Jovis and the water lines are not placed correctly.
