I have been using sketchup 2022 with oob terrain to create large area terrains (i.e. 25km x 40km) but the geo location option is being removed from that very soon.
Sketchup 2024 has very tight limitations on height above ground, area size that can be created and, it creates vast amounts of polys no matter how low you specify (I work on real-time and VR projects).
Does anyone know of a way to extract large area terrain and texture from Google earth?
I have been in communication with the sketchup team and they have suggested I ask here, as they cannot help.
have you tried CAD mapper https://cadmapper.com/ there are paid and free options depending of the sizes you need and you can get your files in SKP ready formats.
You were answered in the other identical post. Did you try the method provided? Have you searched and watched tutorials on YouTube?
Not really.
You can retopologize the terrain to whatever density you want (low ploy) and bake detailed texture onto it.
More than 40 km wide, mid poly mesh (can be made low poly, it’s quad) and one texture
