Historically we bumped into this type of problem because Photoshop would steal the reference to KMZ, this may be a similar problem. So, that does confirm that SketchUp CAN see it, the next question is why it isn’t visible immediately for some users. I downloaded and installed Google Earth and immediately had a nice blue icon. My experience in a fresh, new copy of Windows is that I didn’t have Google Earth installed and had the greyed out box. I would start by uninstalling & reinstalling Google Earth so that all associations are freshly created.įailing that, I would look into re-assigning the file association for KMZ and KML to be sure they’re pointing to Google Earth. Presuming that Google Earth IS installed then my first thought is that Windows has lost the file association or SketchUp didn’t inherit it properly. Google Earth Pro lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings.
You need to agree to the privacy policy and choose your download package before installing.
Note that this option will be greyed out on a system that doesn’t have Google Earth installed. Download Google Earth Pro for PC, Mac or Linux from the official website. I’ve only had one report of this in the emails yet but haven’t confirmed the reason.
