How to Export 3D Models from Google Earth Pro to SketchUp
Introduction
Google Earth Pro is a powerful tool for viewing and analyzing the planet. The Pro version adds additional features like high-resolution printing, advanced measurement tools, and access to data layers like demographics, water & terrain. It can also be used to export 3D models from Google Earth to SketchUp. This tutorial will show you how to export 3D models from Google Earth to SketchUp and how to use the models in your project.
Export 3D Models from Google Earth Pro
The first step is to open Google Earth Pro and select the area you want to export. Once you have selected the area, click the “View” menu and select “3D View.” This will open the 3D view and display the 3D objects in the area. Next, select the “Tools” menu and select “Export 3D Model.” This will open the Export 3D Model dialog box. Here you can select the file format, file name, and location of the exported file. Once you have chosen the options, click “Export” to start the export.
Import 3D Models into SketchUp
Once the export is complete, open SketchUp and select the “File” menu. Select “Import” and choose the file you exported from Google Earth Pro. This will open the Import dialog box. Here you can select the file format and file name. Once the file is imported, it will appear in the 3D view. You can now use the 3D model for your project.
Editing 3D Models in SketchUp
Once the 3D model is imported, you can edit it in SketchUp. To do this, select the “Edit” menu and select “Edit 3D Model.” This will open the 3D editor. Here you can make changes to the model such as adding textures, changing colors, and more. Once you have finished editing the model, you can save it as a SketchUp file.
Creating a Scene in SketchUp
Once you have finished editing the 3D model, you can create a scene in SketchUp. To do this, select the “File” menu and select “Create Scene.” This will open the Scene dialog box. Here you can choose the scene name, background color, and lighting. Once you have chosen the options, click “OK” to create the scene.
Rendering the Scene in SketchUp
Once you have created the scene in SketchUp, you can render it. To do this, select the “View” menu and select “Render.” This will open the Render dialog box. Here you can select the render settings, quality, and output format. Once you have chosen the options, click “Render” to start the rendering process.
Conclusion
This tutorial has shown you how to export 3D models from Google Earth Pro to SketchUp and how to use the models in your project. You can now use the 3D models in SketchUp to create scenes, render them, and create stunning visuals for your project.
