Archicad Blender Google Earth 3D Modeling

Bringing in Google Earth content into Archicad used to be easier before Trimble ruined SketchUP. Here is my new workflow for bringing full 3d Google Earth content into your model.

This workflow ONLY works on Windows. For this demonstration, I'm using Archicad 25, but any recent version should work.

Necessary Downloads:
RenderDoc (get the v1.6): https://renderdoc.org/builds
Blender (latest Windows build works): https://www.blender.org/download/

Watch the video and these will make more sense.
