Demolition in Google Earth?
-
Is there a way to "demolish" areas of G.E. (including terrain, trees, building, etc.) so that new construction (terrain, trees, buildings, etc.) can be imported from SketchUp and viewed within the surrounding context?
-
that will all have to happen within your own localized private model, GE no longer accepts SketchUp model anyway

Thanks, juju - I understand we can't upload to the web any more, but I can still import to GE on my own computer, so want to be able to "clear" the existing GE site so I can insert my proposed site/building/trees to show an Owner how their project works in GE's context. It's the clearing/demolition within GE that I'm hoping someone can help me with...?
-
You have tried exporting the model as either (or both) *.DAE and *.KMZ file types and importing that in GE?
Keep in mind that the information you see in GE is a moderated constant when loaded through the internet, you cannot just change that at will. You will need to download / model it locally, do the changes, and host it locally for viewing, probably not using GE but SU rather.
Something that might facilitate augmenting the kind of thing I explained above is a new extension on the horizon, PlaceMaker. I can't wait to see it released!

Have not tried the .DAE format - will give it a try.
You mention downloading to work on it locally: CAN one download/export GE content to SU and include their trees/buildings/etc.? I've only ever imported a "location" in SU and gotten the two layers of flat & contoured "images" of the ground-plane. (Which is great, but for this project I'm really wanting to be able to use ALL of the 3D GE context...) -
Has anyone figured out how to import the 3D "photorealistic" data from Google Earth into a local Sketchup Model (like geo-locating with the 3d trees and buildings... not just the terrain)?
