See the image below..

Thank you!

@Marts If you want to set the building for an image in the environment you could perform the following steps:

  • Save the view of google map as image file
  • Add transparency to a copy of the image in e.g. Photoshop
  • Insert the image as user interface overlay in the “Customization” tab of the Enscape settings.
    → If the image has the right resolution size, it should fit your screen.
  • Now you can startup Enscape and adjust the view position so that the building fits in the right position on the image.
  • Take a screenshot, with Material-ID ticked in Capture tab of the settings
  • Place the rendered building on the wanted spot in the google map image.

If you want to

  • place it as actual geometry in google maps or
  • load the google maps geometry meshes into the basic software solution or Enscape

you won’t be successful as its currently not supported. But you could have success with SketchUp https://forums.sketchup.com/t/google-maps-new-3d-view-import-for-sketchup/65369/5

Thank you for your answer!

Is the SketchUP free for this fonction?

sKetchup is not free any more. And since the photo-texture in google is taken by satellite from very exact direction You can make your view only from that direction..
