Issues importing Google Earth terrain and imagery
Users are struggling to import terrain and maps from Google Earth into their models, with some reporting that the 'Grab' function fails to insert the image into the workspace. There are also requests for ways to import specific historical imagery to avoid cloud cover and complaints about poor terrain data quality for 3D printing.
