I was wondering if they allow users to add trees themselves. In the new release of Google Earth 6, people in several cities will now be able to browse 3D trees in some of their favorite parks, and maybe even pick out a spot for their next picnic Our urban tree coverage includes San Francisco (downtown and Golden Gate Park), Chicago (Grant, Millennium and Lincoln Parks), New York City (Prospect and Riverside.

“While we’ve just gotten started planting trees in Google Earth, we already have more than 80 million trees in places such as Athens, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Tokyo.” Over time we’ve developed a way to produce highly detailed, photo-textured versions of specific tree species and reproduce them at large scale. 1,693,689 views 449 Dislike Share Google Earth 234K subscribers Explore 3D trees in parks, neighborhoods, and forests in cities all over the world.

Google Earth 6 also includes beautifully detailed, 3D models for dozens of species of trees (50 of them, to be precise) “from the Japanese Maple to the East African Cordia to my personal favorite, the cacao tree,” Peter notes. That’s right, according to Peter Birch, Product Manager of Google Earth, the Street View experience is now fully integrated, “so you can journey from outer space right to your doorstep in one seamless flight."

This is something I’ve only just discovered after spending 2 hours+. It involves geo-locating a site from Google Earth in Sketchup, and then transferring that model to Rhinoceros 3D to create a NURBS surface 3D model of the chosen site.
GOOGLE EARTH 3D TREES HOW TO
Google has launched version 6.0 of its Earth application for Mac, Windows, and Linux, featuring two major new additions - a fully integrated Street View experience and… around 80 million three-dimensional trees. In this Sketchup and Rhino tutorial, you’ll learn how to model a 3D site in less than 60 seconds.
