Capturing Google Earth images to use as base maps in SketchUp

[Geo]

Hi Maria,

@maikorusso

the “select region” size is too small, is it possible to increase it?

No, it will allow you to “grab” only so much at a time.
Then you must use the “Add More Imagery” button
To bring in an entire country, say, Brazil, is really too large an area for SU.

Select Large Region from Google Earth?

I was wondering if it’s possible to grab a large region at a reduced size from Google Earth. For example If I wanted to select the island of Manhattan, can that be done? I tried but keep getting “region too big” error. Is the function of grabbing GE content only for specific small areas to build models on?
