Model of Green Gables house placed on 1968 Aerial Photographs and 3D terrainīefore proceeding with this lesson, it would be useful to review Lesson 1 on Google Maps and Google Earth, although this is not a requirement for using SketchUp. However, the advantage is that it is very simple to view the landscape in 3D and “build” new features including historical buildings and natural features. Note: the disadvantage of using SketchUp for a 3D landscape is that the historical imagery will only have limited accuracy in a SketchUp model, and the modern map and terrain will be limited to the resolution available on Google Earth. Adding layers and historical aerial photographs to SketchUp.In this lesson we will do the next best thing and perform fly-overs of historical landscapes in SketchUp. In Lesson 4, we mentioned that advanced forms of georeferencing would allow you to drape historical imagery over a DEM (digital elevation model) and create “fly-overs” of historical landscapes. Or not, if you’re, say, a Hollywood famous person.In this lesson, you will learn how to install Trimble SketchUp, locate the geographic site of a model in SketchUp, add modern imagery from Google Earth, and add historical imagery such as aerial photographs to the model. When you submit your models to the warehouse, you’ll have the option of including geo-referencing information. Models shared in the 3D Warehouse will even be able to be geo-referenced, meaning that they’ll ‘know’ where they belong in the world. This means that everyone will be able to find their house in Google Earth, import the aerial photo and terrain into SketchUp, model their house (or apartment, or whatever), and send it back to Google Earth for free. Oh yeah, ”both Google SketchUp and SketchUp Pro 5 (with the plug-in) are Google Earth enabled, meaning that you’ll be able to use SketchUp and Google Earth together just like you could using the SketchUp Google Earth Plugin that we’ve had for awhile.
didn’t study advanced geometry and physics engine).The best (most frightening) part? Read on… (source: SketchUp website) SketchUp allows the common man to easily create 3D environments and models, apply textures… all the stuff that 3D Studio does, but for non-graphic artists (i.e. Of course, as expected, the Mac version isn’t available yet in a « Googlified » version, but the trial of V4 I had used was simply beautiful, intuitive and oh, so powerful. I was amazed to see that one of the best software I’ve ever used has now been snapped up by Google.
