@alexmurran, great! I'm trying to upload some more tutorials, but I'm having difficulty getting them to upload :( I'm hoping I'll have another tutorial up and running within the next few days

@ImpacZus, glad it helped! If you have any suggestions for tutorials I'd be glad to create one on that topic.

Thanks for posting this. Really helpful.

Any suggestions on bringing in a tiled terrain? ie a mountain that doesn't fit within one google earth search and required additional imagery.

Always seems to come up as a single tile or nothing at all when bringing into blender.

thanks

I didn't know you chose Utah for the landscape. I'm from Utah. :O

Thank you. This supplied information which I have been seeking for a long time. You can also add additional imagery to your sketch up file and the additional imagery is automatically located correctly in relation to the previously imported imagery. Thanks again.
