Sketchup 7.1 bug fixes and lifelike facades

To go along with the nice imagery update yesterday, Google has done a few things to help improve the 3D models found in Google Earth

Update to SketchUp 7.1: This update consists entirely of bug fixes, with no new features present. It fixes some measurement and precision errors, among other things. Here are the full release notes if you're interested. SketchUp 7.1 added a lot of great features, so this update should make modelers very happy.

3D models with detailed facades: Using StreetView imagery, in a way similar to what you can do in SketchUp 7.1, Google has added high-res facades to buildings in five California cities: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Franciso, Berkeley and Stockton. By using StreetView imagery to detail the 3D models, zoomed in areas of the downtown streets look stunning. Here's a quick video showing some of these new buildings:.

I'd expect we'll see this technology find its way over to Building Maker eventually. Having that kind of imagery available in Building Maker would allow them to expand the available area for it much more rapidly.

In the meantime, enjoy the sharp looking cities in California. They're quite stunning and becoming more realistic all the time.

Google adds new cities and features to Building Maker

Ever since Google released Building Maker last month, we've been big fans of it. 3D models are a very neat aspect of Google Earth, and Building Maker is helping to get a lot more buildings modeled for Earth in a very short period of time.

Despite our enjoyment of Building Maker, it has some shortcomings. Google has come to the rescue and addressed some of them. If you look in Building Maker now you'll find:

More Cities: They've added eight more cities for you to model: Brussels, Belgium; Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Cologne, Germany; Dortmund, Germany; Boston, MA; Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles, CA; San Jose, CA. While none of the existing areas have been expanded, San Jose covers the largest area of any of the available cities.

Google Earth view in Location Picker: When choosing a location to model, you can switch your view to "Earth" to see which buildings are already in Google Earth. This doesn't show you which buildings already have models that are awaiting approval, but it's certainly a very useful tool.

Save Drafts: Now when you're working on a building, you have the option to save it as a draft and work on it later. When you click the "Save" button, choose "Additional Options" and you can uncheck the box for "This building is complete and ready for review". This allows you to go back later to work more on the building before submitting it for approval.

Freeform Polygon: A new primitive type of object is available, known as the "Freeform Polygon". It's a bit tricky to use, but can be quite powerful. If you want to try out this new tool, Google's advice is to first toggle off the snapping tool, drag and constrain the points of the polygon in multiple images, and then toggle on the snapping tool to glue the points to existing blocks.

Here is a very simple video that Google created to show off some of the new features:

Egiate is a neat way to look for colleges

As you (or your children, as the case may be) start hunting for colleges, there's a slick new tool to help you out. Egiate (as in coll-egiate) is a database of colleges in the US, with lots of slick Google Earth Plug-in use on the site.

They offer some nice tools to help you filter down to the school you want based on the type of degree offered, minimum test scores to get in, and a variety of other filters. They have data for 4800 schools, and will fly you there via the Google Earth Plug-in when you find one (it automatically defaults to Google Maps if you don't have the plug-in).

Egiate - Dartmouth College

For some campuses (such as Dartmouth, shown above), they use the plug-in to give a tour of the entire campus. When viewing a campus, try out the "Yelp" search box on the right. If you search for something like "coffee" or "wifi", the results populate on the map instantly! When making a decision about a school, little things like that can sometimes make a difference and it's a very slick implementation of it.

In addition, they have an iPhone app (with Google Map support) and an Android app due out next year. They're even looking at support for Google Wave in the near future.

It's got a few shortcomings -- you can't link directly to a school, you can't search for abbreviations ("USC", "UGA", etc), and some minor things like that. I know the development team is working hard to iron those out, and it's shaping up to be a neat project. It's a great example of how you can use the Google Earth Plug-in to showcase this kind of data.

If you need to do some college shopping, check out Egiate.

New 3D cities released: Valencia, Spain and Oklahoma City

Google has just pushed out their weekly 3D building release, and the two new cities this week are Valencia, Spain and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Google has released a nice video fly-through of Valencia, which you can see here:

In addition, they've offered up some neat sights to see in the city:

  • City of Arts and Sciences (KMZ)
  • Plaza de Toros (KMZ)
  • Saint Mary of Valencia Cathedral (KMZ)

Find any other cool sights in either city? Tell us in the comments!

Links: Full list of StreetView updates, TeachMideast.org, CyberCity 3D partners with HomeGain

Full list of StreetView updates We told you a few days ago about some large amounts of new data for StreetView. As time passed, Google slowly revealed more and more coverage. Along with the already covered Mexico, Netherlands and Hawaii, Google has released details about the new imagery in Spain, and it's been confirmed that new imagery has been added to various locations in the United States and has finally come to the Canary Islands.

Google Maps Mania showcases some of the best views in each area: Spain | Hawaii | Netherlands | Mexico

TeachMideast.org Launches Teach Mideast has just launched, and it provides a ton of free K-12 resources that cover the Middle East, Islam and Muslim societies. It uses an embedded map on the site to showcase their data, and gives a quick "View in Google Earth" link to allow you to go deeper. For teachers that cover that part of the world (history, geography, etc), this could be an excellent resource.

TeachMideast.org

CyberCity 3D parters with HomeGain While I still think that ultimately we'll all be able to easily model our own homes using something like Building Maker, it'll be quite a while before that's available in a wide enough area. Until then, it's neat to see the growing competition between various "home modeling" companies as they fight for real estate business. The big winner in all of this is us, in the form of a more informative (and fun!) house-hunting search.

CC3D launched their "Virtual Viewing" product a few months ago, and now they've teamed up with HomeGain.com to showcase some of those renderings on their site. I'm disappointed it's not an embedded model, but it's still nice to see at least some level of integration. Here's a sample page where you can click on some of the "View in 3D" buttons.

Concept3D does some similar work (as we discussed last month), but they don't have any direct ties to real estate companies that we're aware of.

Here's a screenshot of how the CyberCity3D/HomeGain integration works.
