How to made an environment in SketchUp
-
I have created a house in SketchUp. But I want to put the house in a nice environment, with other houses. But I have no time to build the other houses in SketchUp. Can I import a real photo in sketchup and then make it so it look like it's build in Sketchup? Or must I build all the other buildings in SketchUp?

You can put a SU model into a "fake" environment with photo but you'll suffer more than if you built the other houses, too.
Why don't you download a couple of buildings from the 3D WareHouse? -
Ok thanks. But I Have created a buildning and yesterday i took a photo ov an environment. The photo is pretty detailed, and it will take a lot of time to make a similiar evironment in ShetchUp. But you think it's better to import my house to Photoshop, and then import the photi with the environment, because maybe I can change the photo in PS so it look like it's made in Shetchup. What do you think?

Well, PS can be used but that's also a bit tricky. You will need to adjust the lights (sun, shadows) so that they match the shadws in the photo. Tom (tomsdesk) has some really nice works like that but they haven't been transferred yet from the old board:
