Integrated Connections with Google Earth, Sketchup

•Open or merge models from Google Earth (.kmz) or Sketchup (.skp) directly into ArchiCAD, or save the ArchiCAD models in either of those formats: the related add-ons are now fully integrated in ArchiCAD and require no extra downloads

•Use File > File Special > Send Model to Google Earth for a one-step viewing experience

•When merging a model to ArchiCAD, the user can choose between using the imported location coordinates, or retaining ArchiCAD’s Project Location data and placing the new data relative to these coordinates

•If you only need the location data, you can import the location data stored in the .kmz or .skp file straight into your ArchiCAD model by using the Project Location dialog box
