Geolocation Sketchup: 2021 ((better))

In the architectural and design world, context is everything. The feature in SketchUp 2021 allows users to ground their 3D models in real-world coordinates, bringing in precise geographical data to inform design decisions. By integrating satellite imagery and terrain data, you can transform a simple model into a site-specific simulation. Why Use Geolocation in Your Workflow?

Occasionally, the satellite imagery provided by Add Location may be outdated or not crisp enough for your presentation. Fortunately, you can replace the imported map texture with your own high‑resolution image: geolocation sketchup 2021

Success! The shadows are now correct. However, when you go to Camera > Standard Views > Front , the view is now a weird, twisted angle.
