Abe Megahed writes "Hypercosm has released new mapping features with its latest web based 3D model exporters for 3ds Max and SketchUp. The 3D model can be placed on top of a 3D map, aerial, or hybrid map underlay, which is used to give the models a sense of place and scale. To view Hypercosm 3D models, you need to install a plug-in, which is available for Windows or Macintosh computers.
Mapping for SketchUp models. Mapping for 3ds Max models."
