Sketchup Operaen

Operaen_GoogleEarth

Today, I tried to create 3D model which could be displayed on Google Earth for the first time.
The following is my notes.

1. To see 3D objects on Google Earth, you have to get "3D_Warehouse.kmz" on
http://earth.google.com/3d.html

2. To get Google sketchup, you should visit http://sketchup.google.com/download.html.

3. If you are using both Google Earth and Google Sketchup, you can grab location data in Sketchup according to the area that you are focusing on Google Earth.

4. After creating 3D model, export > 3D model as .kmz file is the way to get data and you can confirm data on google earth locally.

5. To upload data on the Internet, select "share model" button at the far right on Google Sketchup. You proceed to the dialogue that you have to fill in. This page could be the reference.

I would like to have texture on it at the next update.
And the orientation should be corrected which is caused by Pro version export. orz.......
