You'll need the Google Earth Connection Add-On, a separate download at:

On the same page that Dwight pointed you to, you'll see a link to this page listing the limitations of the GE add-on with 64 bit AC:

http://www.graphisoft.com/products/archicad/addons/google_earth/ge_earth_connections_workflow.html

That page lists workarounds for getting the geolocation info into AC. If you want the terrain in AC, you have to install and use 32 bit AC on Windows - ONLY for the import - then save and re-open your file in 64 bit AC.

Yup. Like there's nothing to it, eh?

Hi, can you please tell me how can I install the 32 bit version of archicad 16 on my windows 7 64 bit version ??? I have tried every possible way I could think of but no result. the installation stops right after beginning: some error message appears, that the installation detected I am running 64 it system and it can not install that 32 version archicad 16 on my system .
i want the 32 bit version because of the Google Warehouse connectivity which lacks to the 64 bit version of archicad. and I can not see any possible way I could get it. besides that many steps imports/converts to objects and morphs etc which I find very difficult especially when I am dealing with a lot of different objects coming from google warehouse.

any help much appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
Try to install an older 32bits version of Archicad (i.e archicad14)

thanks. but the archicad 14 does lack the morph tool and other stuff and I was interested in not having installed on my PC, which already has a lot installed on, two versions of the same software .
but thanks anyway
