Tim Beermann at the Interactive Earth blog recently posted this precis (via Ogle Earth) of how he’s importing shape files to Google Earth using software that’s all freely available on the Internet, including his Shape2Earth open-source shapefile-to-KML converter. I’m not sure how easy it is to create shapefiles (Tim downloaded free ones) or what the interoperability of SketchUp will be in this area, but it all looks like another cool tool to consider, at the very least.
