Very nice tool but that is not quite what I am asking about.<BR /> <BR /> With SketchUp you can select an area from google earth and generate the coutour lines form that google earth image/data. <BR /> <BR /> My question is about what to do after that. After the place where the video leaves off. <BR /> <BR /> When you have the 3d SketchUp terrain model finished. What is the most useful way to get that into ArchiCAD ?
