Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info. I do have a specific component I am trying to use, namely a ground-mounted
photovoltaic system for designing large arrays over specific terrain. We have a system that avoids having to grade the site and follows the natural terrain. The terrain from Google Earth is only for rough preliminary sketches. I'll be downloading CAD files with accurate topo info further along. We normally do this the hard way with CAD, RayTrace, etc. I'd much prefer to make mock-ups in SketchUp to map things out. For now I suppose I'll just keep things flat.
Thanks for the feedback!
