Finally .. Here's a link to a leaked copy of the GOOGLEEARTH/MAC beta, thanx to the bods at UNEASYSILENCE. We've been runnin it with no drama's .. although needs OSX TIGER and heaps of processor speed .. also some trouble opening 3D buildings from sketchup plugin, even though they work on the PeeCee, turns it into a Zaha Hadid special .. workin on it so will keep in touch .. this thing is the most fantastic waste of time!!!

here's a pic of our scratch up of CHCH ... AC':arrow:'SU5':arrow:'GE.

seems like it will work very well alongside GOOGLE, as they have just bought @LAST the makers of SketchUp.

What’s this mean? If things follow normal Google trends, (Picasa, Analytics, Writely etc.) This means that they’re going to provide freeware for creating 3D models for Google Earth.??

As 'Sketchup" quote "3D for Everyone" is becoming a reality; we're bringing the '3D' part; Google's contributing the 'Everyone.'

It seems Google recognized that "the ability to design and communicate in 3D is an emerging need for their users." .. Yes, but did Google check whether SketchUp is the best product for that, I wonder?


Djordje .. yes we draw the line at modelling interiors of that nature! dubai continues to amaze us with the scale of development and excess.

Tom .. the walker model was developed by one of my students .. I think it started life in the 3DS world.

Frankly, living here, you get an overload of this and that city, biggest this and largest that ... espcially when you also work in the industry and know what really happens.

Not to go completely off topic, SketchUp is VERY popular around, as everyone wants everything FAST. I thanked it many times last week, as I was able to churn out 6 proposals ... alongside the normal work.

Now to pull all that into ArchiCAD 😉
