AFAIK Sketchup will only import a fairly small area (read closeup view) using "Get current view" with Goggle Earth. You might try zooming GE in close before using "Get current view" in Sketchup. For example try making the visiable area in GE about the size of a couple of city blocks or smaller.

BTW "Get current view" is not working correctly in SU 6 for Mac OS X for me either. I can get the current view but the actual images that SU6 fetchs are NOT stored in the correct layers. They are all in Layer 0. YMMV

FWIW I switched back to SU 5 till this is fixed.

Hi,

I use the latest versions of SketchUp and GoogleEarth for Mac (just downloaded them today), as well as the latest version Mac OS X. I open GoogleEarth, navigate to a location, open SketchUp, click "Get Curent View". I get a progress bar ("Importing"). When that finishes, SketchUp zooms onto the dummy person in the model. Apart from that, nothing seems to happen. No imported picture, nothing.

I looked at the console log, but there are no error messages there. Am I doing something wrong? What I expect is to see the view I have selected in GoogleEarth on the x-z plane.

Any help?

Cheers, Knud
