I have drawn a building that is very accurate using Inventor and I would like to upload it to Google Earth and or Microsoft Virtual Earth (Bing). How do I do this?
I would think that you will need to export your Inventor model to a neutral format such as STP or IGES that can be imported into either GE or MVE. I don't have a single idea what format either GE or MVE uses, you might even need to run it through a second piece of software that will take the neutral format and then convert it to something the GE or MVE can use.
I have stepped it out and tried. I even used the add in of CAD to earth for Inventor and have the model EXACTLY how it should be. That is a very interesting add in if you have not used it. I have 3ds max as well and I'm able to generate just about any file variation that you can fathom, yet I'm still unable to find a way.
I could even take it into Revit, yet I can't find a way to share it publicly. Typically I would have given up at this point, but I keep seeing more and more models uploaded to Google Earth which means... someone is doing it... Why can't we?
