Two Chilean cities added to Google Building Maker
July 27, 2010
[Cross-posted from the
SketchUp blog
]
For those of you who haven’t yet tried it,
Google Building Maker
is our simple 3D modeling tool that allows you to construct buildings by aligning various types of blocks to photos - all from your Internet browser. The completed models are automatically geo-located and then reviewed for inclusion in the
3D Buildings layer
on Google Earth. When the tool was originally released last fall, users could create buildings in 50 cities. Since then, more cities have continually been added, and the growing tally is now at 94.
As part of our latest offering, we’re excited to announce that the cities of Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile are the first South American cities available in Google Building Maker.
Modeling in Santiago, Chile with Google Building Maker
We should note, however, that geo-modeling with
Google SketchUp
has been steadily increasing in that region for some time now. For example, avid user
gananunez
has been modeling in Valparaiso for a year and has more than 50 models in the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth!
Valparaiso, Chile
Two other long-time users,
GecKo StuDio.
and
Sergio
, have been modeling Santiago since 2007 and each has more than 30 models in the 3D Buildings layer. Some users, like
jgago93
, are just getting started in the area.
Santiago, Chile
Now everyone can help model these two cities with Google Building Maker.

to start, and get your models on the 3D map!
