If you are interested in Google SketchUp you can download the program for free now. It's a very easy-to-use 3D design and modeling program that doesn't require great knowledge about this field. In the next tutorial, I’ll talk about using imagery from Google Street View to create models with photo textures.If you're thinking about decorating your new house or designing an object, Google SketchUp will come in very handy. This is especially useful in cases where you want to model a building and see how it sits in hilly terrain. This is the “toggle terrain” button, which will turn off the flat map and show a version of the map that reflects the topography of the site. Not only will this bring in a flat copy of the Google map, you can also click the button next to the import map button on the Google toolbar. This map is brought in as a flat plane, and you can model on top of it as much as you’d like. This will import your map data into your model. Once you have the area you’d like, click the “Grab” button. Reposition them to select the area you’d like to import. Type in the location you’d like to import maps from into your model.
This will pop up a window showing a Google map and a search bar. Go down and check the box labeled “Google,” and select the close option at the bottom of the screen. Navigate to view at the top of the screen, then select the toolbars option. The second is to activate the Google toolbar. The icon for Google Maps is located in the getting started toolbar at the top of the screen.
There are two ways to get to the maps tools in SketchUp.
This video is specifically designed to teach you how to import Google Maps into your model. Since SketchUp was owned by Google and initially used to crowdsource their Google Earth modeling, there are powerful, easy to use tools built into SketchUp to help both import maps into your models and also to geolocate models in Google Earth.
One of the more powerful functionalities in SketchUp is its ability to integrate your models with data from Google Maps.
