3D Buildings Tutorials
You can add 3D buildings to Google Earth quickly and easily with our geo-modeling tools.
Watch the videos below to get started or visit our Your World in 3D site to learn
how.
Intro to Google Building Maker
Learn how to make 3D models of buildings around the world for Google Earth.
Position building blocks on top of aerial images to quickly create realistic
looking buildings. Then save your buildings to the 3D Warehouse for inclusion in
Google Earth. This online tool is free and easy to use.
Create 3D models with SketchUp
Learn how to make 3D buildings with Google SketchUp that appear in Google Earth.
To get started all you need is a camera, Google Earth and Google SketchUp. Take
photos of your building, give your building a geographic location in Google
Earth, model in 3D with SketchUp and upload to the Google 3D Warehouse.
Geo-modeling with SketchUp and Building Maker
In this tutorial video you will learn how to use both Google Building Maker and
Google SketchUp to create models for Google Earth. Start in Building Maker by
making a simple massing model with provided aerial photography, then save to the
Google 3D Warehouse and finally download to Google SketchUp to add details and
textures.
Modeling with Site Context
With Google SketchUp 8, you can create detailed and accurate site context for any
project. From SketchUp, you can add a location with the new geo-modeling tools.
