Google Building Maker allow you to create geo-located 3D models of buildings for Google Earth. Building Maker is a web based tool to make high quality, photo-textured 3D models. Building Maker has large collection of building blocks, all you want to do is to assemble the blocks to match the shape of your favorite building. To do that first install the latest version of Google Earth on your computer Next, choose a building from one of the fifty cities and towns where modeling is currently possible. 

Even if you choose a building that has already been modeled, you can use Building Maker to produce a higher quality model that could replace the current one in Google Earth.  Building Maker provides you with images taken from a variety of different aerial angles; you just select the ’smart blocks’ that are the best fit and match the blocks to the images.  Once you’ve matched the blocks to the objects in the imagery, Building Maker will generate a photo-textured 3D model of your building for Google Earth. If you are done save your work online in the Google 3D Warehouse and have it reviewed for use in Google Earth and if approved, it would appear in the 3D Buildings layer with a credit given to you.
