Thank you Rich

IDK Both of them are visualization packages with some NPR abilities. Twinmotion will become 'realtime' when they'll deliver an UE bridge (with tealtime path tracing). Now the output has to be rendered

You can't get imagery and terrain from Google Earth anymore. It comes from Google Maps now. It has done since SU2014. The geo-location feature in SU2013 and earlier no long works, either. This was announced more than a year ago and is described here. I addition, you can no longer directly send SketchUp files directly to your local Google Earth and Google isn't accepting SketchUp models for populating Google Earth. Your profile is incomplete and doesn't indicate what version of SketchUp you are using but your screen shot came from a version of SketchUp earlier than SU2014.
