PlaceMaker (Instant Context Builder) released
-
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that a new Extension for SketchUp Make or Pro called PlaceMaker is now available here:
PlaceMaker imports and optimizes OpenStreetMap data which allows you to automatically generate HUGE site context reference models with a simple mouse stroke! It can even automatically drape the models onto geo-located terrain.
With a full license, everything that PlaceMaker imports and generates can be edited within SketchUp and customized to suit your specific needs.
It also allows you to import high resolution licensed satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe over a large area, unlike SketchUp's Add Location feature which simply takes a screenshot of your map window.
You can now order a 6 month preview (free trial) or purchase a license (with early adopter discount) at http://suplacemaker.com
Please check our our FAQ for more information.
Thanks!

Really useful piece of software!
Images are very good and the instant building volumes are really helpful. However, the feature I like the most is the sync between your model and google street view, that the plugin is able to pull off. It allows you to create a photomatch of your model using what you see in Streetview as a background with a single click and redo it for a new position of the model with a second click.
Amazing "little" feature that can quickly help you turn a simple building block into a very detailed model, useful on a lot of scenarios.
Congratulations Whaat!
