Hi there,

 I've noticed that in the past several people have posted requesting assistance with the same issue that i am battling now, however these questions have remained unanswered.

The problem: When using the extention's feature that allows one to "aquire from google earth" nothing appears to happen. The windows (revit 2011 and google earth 6) interchange breifly, once the screen has reverted back to revit the result is no differnt from what i started with, i.e. there is no google earth underlay...

I have ensured that i am in site plan when performing this operation, the only problem i can think of is that i am running google earth version 6 and i noticed that the extention was designed to work with version 5.

 Regards, Jonathan Cullinan

This is an autodesk 'software extension' question and I'd be very interested in what your autodesk reseller has to say?
My experience with REVIT extensions so far has been 'Don't get your hopes up'.

I'm using GE 6 aswell, works fine here.

When importing (aquireing) the the GE plan check the project browser, revit creates a new 3D view named GE View.

You should also see the GE image in the site plan view (Only in the active site plan no floorplan)

I am having a similar problem, when I acquire the image from google earth using revit, I notice the image is not actually the same size as in GE, my image in Revit is bigger by 30 to 40 feet.

Any Ideas?

This might have something to do with the units, it might work if you set your project units to millimeters for the import.

(BTW, after using the globe link for a while, it stoped working here to)

I really need to do this for a project but have no idea how. I've specified my project location no problem but I need to bring in the satellite image. I'm using Revit 2012. Is this done through an Add-in or am I just missing a button somewhere to import the image. I saw a video for Visari that does this very quickly; should I be using Visari? Thanks.
