      I have read through several old threads concerning this, but the links to outside sites/scripts were broken. I am going through the process of moving the selection box and grabbing terrain over and over again to get an acceptable resolution. I am looking for a way to automate that process. Possibly with a nested for loop moving the selection box incrementally. I have programming experience but i'm new to Ruby. Are there any similar scripts, starting points or other solutions? Thanks.

        to topofsteel:
        I have been manipulating GE terrains via Sketchup for many years.
        My purpose is to create contour slices, color them and end up with a color-graded contour map.
        It works very well - 99% automated, but only once the original terrains are manually imported - and even then, problems can arise if the imported terrains don't overlap correctly.

        I have tried to intercept the Sketchup "Add more imagery" menu option.
        I have a partial result, which means I can begin to "talk" to the GE map server, but then that communication link fails... obviously, I don't have the correct classes/methods available in my context...

        Any thoughts or experiences you (or anybody else) might have on this subject area are more than welcome. πŸ˜„
