PhotoSketch Plugin for Google SketchUp: Tutorial 2 (of 3)

PhotoSketch is a photo-centric urban 3D modeling plugin for Google SketchUp.
In this video, a tutorial is presented describing how to use the SketchUp interface along with an
extended set of PhotoSketch plugin tools to build 3D models. The PhotoSketch workflow requires
the user to draw 2D rectangular footprints directly on the calibrated photo. These footprints
are then extruded to embed 3D volumes directly into the 2D scene photos. The photos thereby
serve as visual cues as well as textures that are projected onto the extruded geometry
to produce photorealistic 3D urban models. See http://www.brainstormllc.com/ for more details.

This is great, I'm a complete noob at these things but does photosketch have built in texture tools like cloning and stuff? So you could for example fix the textures on that grey tall building by cloning the higher floors on the side?

Brilliant!
