Exporting model to Google Earth for the public to see

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.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

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?

Someone please enlighten me of the proper workflow.
