street view from google earth to Infraworks

[oliverkisera]

Hello good people, I have captured an Isometric street view using the street view functionality in Google earth and in my model in Infraworks, I would like to import such an Iso view to make my model realistic since I dont have any pont data/drone images to import, is it really possible to import and view such ISO street views from google earth into Infraworks, I will truly appreciate your responses, thanks in advance, I have attached such an image

Since you have a simple jpg to display, use the Tooltip tool to bring the file up for display. Use this video as an example of how to display various files with a Tooltip.

If you had point data available for latitudes and longitudes (from a shape file with point data of the points of interest), you could run a script to bring up Google Maps with a satellite display from which a street view is easily obtained by "zooming in".  Let me know if you have such a point file available and I can share notes on the type of script you need.

I really appreciate your response, I lack a point data/shape file for the town which I need called Migori, a town in Kenya in the East African region, I have tried looking over the internet and I just dont know where I can find some point data/shape file to upload into my Infraworks model to make it have a realistic outlook of the buildings and the streets and all that, so does this mean that even street view from google maps is not going to help me at all while inside Infraworks?, or could you be knowing how or where I can get some point data/shape files for use in Infraworks?, once again I really appreciate you taking your time to help me out
