really nice video..

can u tell me how do u begin ur video by showing the earth then go down to the location of the building I really try hard to find this but I didn't find how.

@MrRoro888 Thanks! The earth at the beginning of the video was done using Google Earth. I created a specific location and zoomed way out. Then I spinned the earth, and clicked on that specific location in the left menu. This causes the earth to stop and zoom back to the desired location. The window animation was made in SketchUp with the "Proper" plugin. Thanks again.

oo...actually i'm referring to your way of showing the construction step by step. any clue of how we can achieved what u did?? thanks!

In SketchUp, as you are building the entire model, be sure to save each part (slab, walls, roof, windows, etc.) as a separate group on a separate layer. Then toggle the on/ off layer settings as you save each "Scene" in the Animation menu. Then click the View menu > Animation > Play. This step alone took a few days of trial and error as I had to get each of the hundred or so layers to be either on/ or off as the animation progressed.
