I scoured the internet, but could not find a way to view/alter the camera lens settings in Google Earth in order to match them in/to SketchUp. However, I already tried overlaying an exported image from SketchUp onto an exported image from Google Earth - using the same Scene/Placemark Snapshot - for both images, but the images do not align due to what seems to be a difference in camera lens settings between the two programs.

I also have access to Photoshop, so if there is a solution to this issue involving Photoshop, I should be able to utilize that method. Is there a way to import a SketchUp model into Google Earth so that the land area where my model exists is cropped out from the Google Earth model? If I turn the existing buildings and trees off (3D Buildings > Photorealistic) in Google Earth, it turns the hi-res topography off with it. I would like to be able to display it in 3D in the context of the surrounding neighborhoods, but when I import the SketchUp model as a KMZ into Google Earth, my model conflicts with the existing buildings and vegetation on the site. Now, I already know where I'm looking here.I built a model of an entire neighborhood in SketchUp: houses, trees, topography, etc. Basically, we're just going to look for an empty lot. Now, I'm actually going to go into Los Angeles and go to Malibu. And we can pretty much go anywhere we want. But, as you can see, we can pan by left-clicking and dragging, or if we roll the mouse, we can zoom out. And it'll probably give you something closer to your hometown. And I live in Los Angeles, so it's easy giving me Los Angeles. And when we do this, it brings us into a Google Maps or Google Earth-type interface. So we can do this by going into File, Geo-location, Add Location. And Google Earth is a great way to get rough site data for your projects. Now, there are many times when you're creating a building, and you'll need to place that building on a site. Hi, I'm George Maestri, and today we're going to take a look at how to get location and elevation data from Google Earth into SketchUp.
