Sketchup does not have a problem with this but Rhino seems to be ignoring new texture images if it thinks that they already exist in the model. Within each SketchUp tile, the ground plan texture is named Terrain_.png. Warning when working with SketchUp files in Rhino To skin the terrain with the 2013 or 1946 Aerial photo or a custom basemap image use the Materials > Eye Dropper to select the terrain material, then choose the desired ground plan image in the Edit tab.The terrain looks better if you use the Window > Soften / Smooth Edges to soften coplanar edges within 50 Degrees.Vertical Coordinate System for 3D data: North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD 88) Feet (Height) Usage Notes

Download Tiled DataĮach SketchUp model is a combination of three datasets, which are in turn created from multiple sources. Each of these components is shared in formats intended to facilitate collaboration between diverse communities who have an interest in understanding places in the city as they have changed or as they may be changed. The Cambridge 3D model is constructed of several components: Terrain, Ground plan, and 3D models of buildings and bridges. The City of Cambridge GIS maintains a 3D model of the city as a visualization and analytical tool for understanding ideas related to the future of the City. SketchUp is available free for non-commercial use. These layers have been transformed from the city's GIS data into a SketchUp model that is easy to explore and to edit. The Tiled 3D Model is a combination of terrain with a draped basemap with a collection of 3D building models. Each model being assigned to the tile that its centroid falls within. The model collection is segmented into tiles which is contiguous with the City of Boston 3D tile grid.

The SketchUp building model collection provides 3D models for modeling, model transformation, and web visualization. The City of Cambridge Geographic Information System (GIS) City-Wide 3D project provides a detailed three-dimensional model of buildings and bridges has been compiled from many sources over several years.
