Is it possible to create builings on specific location

Post by gundeg »

Hi,

I'm going to plan new building in specific location. I can see the field on google map. is it possible to use real location or area to draw building on?

Thanks for any replay [;)]

Depends what you mean. Maps are not really useful as ground texture as the image will be tiled on the ground.

However, you can use a map as a background image (provided the scale is reasonable). This is sometimes useful to see roads and other buildings and to set the compass orientation and location. (Google map: right-click>What's here? to show location. Setting the compass correctly is important to show the correct angle of light when you create photos.) For outlining buildings, though, Google maps are not really sufficiently accurate.

ok
