      Hi all,

      I needed to create a very quick massing model for a building on a site, for work. Creating the sketchup model wasn't a problem (screenshot provided), however, when I previewed the model in GE it did not render any of the line work (screenshot provided). In essence, the SU model has floors visible with the line work, but GE simply rendered a solid gray box. I've not encountered this before and am thinking I must be missing something simple. How come what I see in SU isn't importing exactly that way into GE?

      Btw, I am using:
      SU 2015 Pro
      Google Earth Pro

      Thanks,
      Aaron

        Bit late here, but line works are don't show up because they are physically nothing. If you need to show a gap between floors, you need to either make a physical gap (12" high and push/pull inwards). Or you can draw two lines (12" apart) and paint in black so that it'll appear.
