good to know it's possible, but that sounds like waaay more of a headache than i'm looking for. thanks for the feedback.

bummer. thanks for the info.

so there's really no way to get around this? It would be great to even just get access to the models' info to find out how tall they are. what a tease!

I searched around for info on this topic but didn't come across any discussion of this issue:

I just downloaded SU8 and am trying to use the Nearby Buildings function to populate buildings in my model, but only two buildings are listed as being "nearby." However, in Google Earth, there's a significant wealth of buildings modeled in the area I'm working in. Is there a way to find and import these buildings into my model? Or am I stuck at this point?

The area happens to be surrounding SCI-ARC (a private architecture school in downtown Los Angeles), which is why I think it's been so well modeled. I'd love to take advantage of this resource!

Thanks everyone!
