Nearmap 3D allows you to export on-demand 3D in several content types at high quality, scale, and speed. Having access to current high-resolution imagery for SketchUp and other CAD tools can help enhance architectural visualizations for project proposals and marketing plans, evaluate preliminary designs, illustrate 3D site plans, better convey worksite conditions & safety issues, and will improve design and communication from across all project phases from preconstruction to completion. Most designers, and project teams within the larger picture, first employ Nearmap within SketchUp for conceptual design and site context during the design phase of figuring out what they plan to build before setting off to build it. Nearmap 2D and 3D aerial imagery is not only easily accessible through the cloud but is also high-resolution, accurate, and up-to-date which reflects a more realistic view between a proposed project and existing surroundings. Many designers prefer to use SketchUp over other CAD software, such as AutoCAD, Rhino and Revit, due to its ease of use and 3D visualization capabilities.Īt Nearmap, we are frequently asked about best practices for importing Nearmap Vertical imagery, also referred to as orthoimagery, and on-demand 3D reality mesh into SketchUp and furthermore, how are these best utilized in tandem to enhance site plans and aid in project coordination.


It is a 3D modeling application that has an extensive warehouse of user-created models and extensions for advanced modeling. in 2012) is widely used for building design and construction in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, namely by landscape architects, interior designers, urban planners, developers, and architects to name a few. I have not researched why this is the anycodings_meshlab case, but what I presume happens is that anycodings_meshlab the Sketchup STL import extension has anycodings_meshlab issues interpreting the raw Fusion 360 anycodings_meshlab output, but MeshLab cleans it up nicely anycodings_meshlab to some standard that the extension anycodings_meshlab expects.SketchUp (formerly Google Sketchup acquired by Trimble Inc. Instead anycodings_meshlab of loading indefinitely, the model will anycodings_meshlab be loaded near Sketchup origin in anycodings_meshlab (depending on complexity) less than a anycodings_meshlab second. In the Saving Options menu, deselect anycodings_meshlab Binary encoding and then save. By default the entered anycodings_meshlab Target number of faces is half the anycodings_meshlab current amount - using that should yield anycodings_meshlab good results in most cases. Optional: To reduce triangle count, go anycodings_meshlab to Filters > Remeshing, anycodings_meshlab Simplification and Reconstruction > anycodings_meshlab Simplification: Quadric Edge Collapse anycodings_meshlab Decimation. Using MeshLab (open anycodings_meshlab the stl file in question and then File anycodings_meshlab > Export Mesh As. anycodings_meshlab I've used MeshLab, though something like anycodings_meshlab MeshMixer might work as well. With an added extra step, you can easily anycodings_meshlab import models without even reducing the anycodings_meshlab quality (though you probably should).
