Good morning
I am evaluating Google Earth to acquire it, for the time being I have him version trial but
Is my question, like I can activate the option land? they told me that in Mexico I can see the elevations to each 5 meters in horizontal distances of 90 meters, but I don't know as using the option land
I will thank the help
Greetings

Is anyone using the KML format to distribute 3D information about the Earth's atmosphere? The atmosphere and the severe weather within it are inherently three dimensional. However, from a quick search, I find only 2D images of atmospheric data in the KML and KMZ formats, not 3D representations. If you can use KML to define a 3D building, why not use it to define a 3D storm cloud?
I have tried creating 3D KMZ files from a satellite overflight of Hurricane Katrina (2005), a squall line over Florida, and several other severe weather events. If anyone else has already put this kind of 3D data into the KMZ format, please let me know. I will try to attach a sample KMZ file to this message, but if this fails, you can download several 3D KMZ files from the following URL: http://www-tsdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/tsdis/gis/google.html . These KMZ files contain 3D precipitation, cloud height, lightning, and surface rain rates observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite.
I would appreciate receiving any feedback that you may have on these KMZ files. In particular, is the almost 1 megabyte file size too big? Do the 100,000 lat/lon/altitude vertices in the file cause Google Earth to run too slowly on your computer? Does the web page listed above give a sufficiently detailed description of the KMZ file's contents? The web page describes the somewhat abstract representation in the KMZ file, such as using a yellow vertical line to represent a lightning flash.

Hey there was wondering, how to make a spline that would encompass the whole earth.
That is for example a set of orbits of a satellite.
Can you design these in sketchup and export a model to do this..?
Thanks-

Hello.
I uploaded my model to Google Earth and it happens that, to see my model, I need to double click in the 3D_Warehouse.kmz file and download the model to Google Earth too. Doing that Google Earth shows a blue icon (a house) that says there`s a model for that building. I've noticed that there are lots of other 3d models of different buildings like the Coliseo that shows an yellow icon (an yellow house) that can me seen anywhere without downloading any file besides the executable file of Google Earth 4.1.7087.5048 (beta).
Does anyone know what`s the difference between the blue house icon and the yellow house icon and what do I have to do to see my model without downloading it?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to post this. But when the 3D Warehouse first came out, I could see buildings for miles. But in the latest update, I can only see buildings for about 5 city blocks or so. I can't find any option for changing draw distance, but I assume Google Earth did this because of major lag issues when loading buildings in complex areas (such as Denver, Colorado).
Is there a way to make the buildings draw distance higher? I'd like to know because when browsing certain areas, I'll change the view to horizontal so it's easier for me to look for buildings around an area that aren't in an obvious view.

Hi. I'd like to post this model on GE on "3d constructions".
I want every one could see it just selectin "3d contructions" on Google Earth.
How can I do it?
My city doesn't have conctructions on 3d to see... It'd be the first.
