Looks great! In fact the importer of .shp files and exporter of kml files works really well for my home town.. But, I have 3D buildings and I cannot for the life of me find how I can put them onto layers so they can be turned off when I want to view the aerial photos. I am also trying to figure out how I set up the same viewing conditions as for the Boulder area or even the Grand Canyon - i.e the really detailed images of the ground only load when I am close enough that they are visible.

yar,
each group or component geometry will come across in the kmz as a new folder.
so....
while in SketchUp, group the geometry of you building/ buildings and then export out.
When in GE, just click on and off the geometry.
As for views....
you can set those in GE by right clicking on the kmz or any sub folder and select the Snapshot.
In SketchUp, set your page views and on export they will be tranfered over into the kmz. They will be under the TOUR folder.
Have fun

Gidday again
I am perhaps missing something. What I am interested to be able to do is click the 3D buildings layer and have the 1600+ buildings (currently labelled building 1 through 1600+ - but I know what to do about that!) turn on / off - as layers in GE, not as objects in my places folder? At present your excellent exporter exports 1600 3D entities but they are visible whether or not I click the 3D buildings button / layer visibility option.
Also, while i am at this submit questions level, I have a 3D shp / dxf contour map of 1m spacing contours across the whole city which currently imports into ADT / 3DS Viz / Sketchup or anything else with landscaping options as a simply massive file. I want to be able to draw on this stuff as terrain in GE, not make a many faceted geometry model... Is this an area where your brilliant shp importer / kmz exporter can assist?

May have been posted before...
I did a quick search for Boulder.
Here's two example Quickbird 2 foot examples on the mapmart.com website that I found.

Now those would definately look rather good under this fabulous model.

I guess I dont have the latest processor or massive memory to compute these buildings. Camera rate is slow. I have a P4(2003 model I guess) with 512MB SDRAM. Is there any simple codeding? From other cities with buildings they are smooth transitions. Also Area 51 is cool but hogs up page file memory bad.
