How to view a model in Google Earth?

SketchUp
#1

It used to be possible to place models in Google Earth and view them. But the instructions I see now don’t seem to apply to SU2018 or SU2019 Pro. Can it be done? If so, how?

Thanks for any help.

#2

• Geo-Locate the model.
• Export as KMZ file
• Open the KMZ with Google Earth

Example:
Poniatowski_ WI_N on Y.kmz (3.4 KB)

Thank you.

I can’t wait to try this out.

Do I leave the Add Location topography I downloaded to geolocate the model? Or do I need to isolate the building?

#4

You can just turn those terrain / snapshot layers off prior to exporting to KMZ. I believe that GE will show only the model’s visible layers.

That worked. Thanks.
