Share on Facebook Tweet this Share GoogleGoogle Earth Pro used to cost a staggering $400 a year, but in case you haven’t heard, the intuitive mapping program is now free. Back in 2015, but the company’s instructions have since become outdated.
Thankfully, the process remains relatively straightforward and quick. The Pro package will be familiar to anyone who has used Google Earth before, but the software comes loaded with a host of extra features. Media companies use the video export feature to supplement reporting, and construction firms can use the tools to digitally survey any location on Earth.
Here’s how to get these and other previously expensive features for free, whether you’re an Apple or Windows aficionado. Step 1 — Download Google Earth Pro To get started, we’ll need to download and install Google Earth Pro. Head to the, click the Explore option beneath Google Earth Pro, and click the blue Download Google Earth Pro button on the right-hand side of the page. In Windows, simply open the.EXE file installer and allow it install the latest version of Google Earth. On a Mac, you’ll need to open a DMG file, then run a PKG installer. You can customize where the application will install, but the defaults are fine if you’re not sure which settings to us.
Hi All, greetings from New Zealand. 1st proper post Just got a SN with USB connector (damn missed wireless version by a day or so). I have an iMac 8,1 running snow leopard (10.6. And Sketchup Pro (version 8.0.3161) and after installing 3DX software from disk/online update, SN lit up and worked in Google Earth and then also in Sketchup Pro after a restarts. I am running latest drivers from 3DX too, - 10.0.14. SN lights up, after launching Sketckup, 3D mouse news launches showing how adjustments can be made in pop up menu!
The problem I have is finding /seeing / using this pop-up context/ pull out menu in Sketchup. I have checked /library/app.support/google sketchup 8/sketchup/plugins & has 3DxSketchUp.bundle.plugin &3DxSketchUp.rb I have searched toolbars/ menus without success - am I missing something?
In sys properties 3D connexion tools tab confirms firmware 4.35 & 3DxWare 10 - version 10.0.14 no driver version shown. I also have a macbook pro, 2011 - running lion (10.7.5) and sketchup Pro (version 8.0.3161 - as above) and after installing all as above 3D connexion applet in system preferences (as it is above) but - under applications - it lists goggle sketchup (in above machine on snow leopard - lists sketchup) after selecting google sketchup in application list - i get tabs device-application-buttons-advanced and selecting these gives 3D connexion devices found driver version 1.7 - firmware 4.35. In Sketchup again I can not find SN pop up menu? Again checked support folders has 3DxSketchUp.bundle.plugin &3DxSketchUp.rb as above. As an aside tried demos on both setups -3D Demo & 3Dx Axis worked on iMac (QTVR not available for some reason) on Mac Book pro 3D Demo & 3Dx Axis worked but not QTVR - maybe not relevant but mentioned as others have posted issues re these. In both situations the 3D mouse news pop-up declares ' (pop-up) it can be opened with the menu or panel button (left button for spacenavigator products (on your 3D mouse). Manual not helpful for specific application usage.
I need to change SN to camera mode to use for architectural modelling. Am I missing something here? Can anyone shed any light on this? As at the moment, all I have an expensive paper weight! Hi Barbara, Thanks for the the help, but your instructions unfortunately did not correct my issue. After selecting 'use defaults' button as suggested - left & right buttons were assigned with left & right? However, after removing all 3Dconnexion installs (also checking hidden library dir) and starting again installing 10.0.13 (previous latest driver for Mac) and NOT installing plugin.
On the first install I also installed the bundled formZ plugin that is part of the 3Dconnexion disk, assuming it (a plugin) was needed for sketchup, after reading its notes realised it was for Autodesk Maya - (Auto-des-sys's FormZ v6.1) only. After the restart all worked perfectly on both machines - not sure if it is the earlier software or the plugin, so will upgrade to latest driver and see if all remains working.
I have embarrassingly posted this in the slim hope it may help another unfortunate soul that has taken the same steps. Little farquhar Never trust at Atom, they make up everything.
