Hi team,

Is there any roadmap to introduce a link between forma and google earth?

Thanks

Hi Sandra,
No we don't have an google earth integration planned as of now.
May I ask what specifically you want to achieve with something like that?
Cheers, Håkon

Hi Håkon,

We use google earth pro as a way to visualize our feasibility projects, it's incredibly powerful to show our clients and municipalities what the proposed massing looks like within the wider city context.

Currently, we need to import our Forma massing into SketchUp to be able to export it to KMZ format, which is not ideal, so having a more direct link from Forma would be superb.

Hi again,
That makes sense, thanks for letting us know. We have a dual track of adding data sources ourselves as well as enabling third parties to integrate with us, so we do have a goal of getting as much context data as we can into Forma, but again, google earth is sadly not on our roadmap right now.
Cheers, Håkon
