Importing pictures from Trimble Real Works to SketchUp Pro

[joshuaarchboutant]

Hello,
My office is big into residential additions and have bought a Trimble 3D scanner. I have watched many videos showing me how to work with Trimble real works and then be able to build the as- built scanned house in Sketchup. Through the videos I was never shown how to import the exterior facade pictures in Real Works to import into Sketchup. I need to show how the Houses looked before, to then show the new addition. Is there anyway the exterior photos can be but on my Sketchup model from real works?

Thank you

from online SketchUp User Guide:

• Matching a Photo to a Model (or a Model to a Photo)

• Using the Photo Point Tool

There is also the free Trimble Scan Explorer plugin to bring point clouds into SketchUp and to model from them, but it has not been updated recently so the newest SketchUp version supported is 2017.
