If you’ve got Google Earth installed then chances are that you also have the plugin installed in your browser. Select a location to model, align the 3D shapes with the photos and submit it to the Google 3D warehouse for review. You would need to sign in to your Google account before you submit your model for review. If accepted, your model would be added to Google Earth and you’d be credited for the same.

Features:

• Add 3D building models to Google Earth.
• The tool is web based and requires Google Earth plugin.
• Use Google SketchUp to edit and modify the structures.
• Submit for review and wait for Google team to approve it.
