Google Earth / Add location
-
I’m trying to import or set a location from Google earth into SU8
I thought there was an option to “get current view” that I have in GE all ready to go.
I’ve also tried to save the file in GE as a KMZ and import it into SU but every attempt it fails at 75%
I saw a video on you tube and that’s where they choose “get current view” but he had a MAC, does this option exist in SU8 windows?
Thanks
This GE file has a semi-transparent overlay on it, but even with the overlay turned off and re- saved it failed to import into SU -
Get current view was until version 7. Now there is add location - you can access it from the file menu, the GE Toolbar or the Window menu > Model info > Location tab. It will open a built-in GE browser where you need to go (and zoom) to your location, select the area and import that into SU.
It will import a colour image now but the downside is that you cannot import your overlay image from GE.
