How to Add Google Earth 3D Objects into ArchiCAD (via Blender) - CBA Does Archicad Episode 001

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/
