My name is Ron Hall.
I live at the Funny Farm.
Finally got a chance to spend some time working with Building Maker this past weekend. I liked it (surprise surprise). It is a web based specialized 3D modeling tool designed to create buildings for Google Earth. It is not designed to replace SketchUp, but to complement it. It uses "Photo Match" type approach from SketchUp, coupled with some geometry generating tools. Think it is a great way to generate models in a "wholesale" fashion. The challenge is to get them to look "neat" up close. Also wonder about the possibilities for editing/improving them in SketchUp, then reposting.
Worked on a couple of buildings over in Seattle - in the Boeing Field area. Noticed that someone had done quite a bit of work in the Rainier Ave neighborhood. Great thing about this all is that you can model buildings at a remote location (provided it is in one of the regions currently covered).
If you like SketchUp, guessing you will like Building Maker as well. Try it. Once again - it's free.
Make it a good day.
