Naturally, this doesn't help anyone in relatively flat locales.įor those urban areas where GE has 3D mass models of the major buildings, even though the city is flat, the GE context can be useful for sunlight/view studies as well. (I exported my ArchiCAD model to SketchUp and from there to Google Earth.) ![]() This is the example I posted elsewhere on the forum when the SketchUp Google Earth plug-in beta was released. We can show the client if/where the view through the mountains to the lake will be, etc. ![]() While we're fortunate in much of (but not all of) the US and various major world cities to have pretty good detail in GE, I agree that the resolution for immediate context is better for urban level or campus planning.īut, I find it extremely useful for projecting view corridors for any project in mountainous terrain, such as we have here in Sandpoint. ![]() I understand it's nice to have it fit in the global picture, but most designs by architects don't have that much urban scale into it. If you do not live in a part of the world where there are high-res photographs, then there is just a big pixel-blurb to place your building on. What do you see as the main reason to use Google Earth with ArchiCAD?
