You can import the detailed building model into your street view. The other model illustrates the building in a street view that shows surrounding buildings, streets, and landscaping. Tip: Because an outer shell reduces a model’s geometry, creating an outer shell is helpful when you need to boost SketchUp’s performance.įor example, say you have two models: One is a detailed interior and exterior building model. (Note, however, that you can't place SketchUp models in Google Earth anymore.) In the following sections of this article, you will find steps and details about using each tool. In the following video, you see examples of the Solid tools in action.
