![]() A killer tool is the feature to place your house model into its real place (file > Geolocation) and get an instant preview in Google Earth, so you are able to get a perfect view of the real surrounding. You can use all the great navigation and perspective tools. to make the windows transparent, you have to click on the window pane, delete it and drag a transparent texture on the remaining window pane (there are two panes exported) resize to the correct dimensions (select all, measure tool, click on a dimension and type in the correct data) delete some wrong panes and lines, especially in the top-level floor break up the model into single parts (sorry don't know the correct English translation, in German it's "in Einzelteile auflösen") Once the model is in SketchUp, you have to. B: open the obj-file with AccuTrans3D (trial version here: - fully functional but not free - any other programs?) and save it in Google Earth KMZ-Format start SketchUp and import the kmz-File (also without textures, seems more stable, but also problems with large models) A: start SketchUp, intall the obj-Importer ( ) and import it - all textures are lost, the import takes very long and crashes sometimes if the model is too complex To move around and watch everything in 3D, I tried to find a good way to export the SweetHome-model to a more flexible 3D viewer, so this is what I found out now: Emmanuel does not want to change this because he's afraid the new users will be "lost" in 3D-navigation which is ok. Nevertheless, I think the 3D-View is not optimal: because the point of view is always in the center of the model, the "outer" rooms can not be seen well.
