PlaceMaker
Quick 3D city design with detailed aerial photographs
With just two clicks, import high-resolution aerial photos, 3D buildings, roads, paths, trees, and water features using the PlaceMaker SketchUp Pro extension.
PlaceMaker Features
Google Earth 3D
Import detailed 3D models directly from Google Earth into your SketchUp model, now without needing an API key. That also makes this feature available for users in the EU. Choose from four different levels of detail: from low for large surface areas and massing studies to high for detailed environments. New in v4: preview your Google Earth import before actually importing it, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.
