Why are the surfaces overlayed on google map all jaggered
-
Hi,
I've made a model of some fences and buildings on top of a google map in order to study the sun angles and shadows of the site. However, the ground surfaces are all jagged? Why is this and how do I fix it? How can I remove the google map background?

Its called "Z fighting". Where two planes are co-planer....
A simple google search of Z fighting will explain for you.

What do you mean all jaggedy? I think you are referring to the the white area that is set on top of the image (and not the low resolution of the image). That's "z-fighting" You have two textures or images in the same plane. You can fix that by lifting this surface above the image a little (or lower the image). The image may be locked so you can't delete it or move it. Unlock it-or just turn off the layer it's on.
ah I got beat by utiler (he who never sleeps).

Thanks for providing the name for this phenomenon. I've looked up z fighting and see that it is caused by 2 surfaces occupying the same plain. So, in my case, the answer was to delete the google map since I was finished with it anyway. For those having trouble deleting the google map, you have to unlock it first (right-click > unlock) then erase it (right-click > erase).
