Google Earth Data Connectivity Tool For Archicad 10
The Google Earth – ArchiCAD data exchange is quite similar to SketchUp:
- Download the following file and unpack it: Google Earth Connectivity Add-on for Archicad 10
- Backup and then replace the “GSXML.dll” file in your Archicad 10 folder and copy the “Google Earth In-Out.apx” under the Add-Ons/Import-Export folder.
- Download and install the latest Google Earth program (http://earth.google.com)
- Create Google Earth placemarks, polygons, or paths. (Polygons and paths can be generated from Google Earth Plus or Pro) and export them.
- In Archicad you can either open or merge the Google Earth .KMZ/.KML file.
- Once you have positioned your model, switch to 3D view and save your work into Google Earth format.
- 3D Models can be uploaded to Google 3D Warehouse with SketchUp free.
