Hey, I'm trying to make a scale model of Downtown Toronto on Google Sketch up.
Here are some pics of what I have managed to get done so far.
I will need some help doing some of the lesser known buildings farther up north. But I hope you enjoy it, and if it gets popular enough, I might release the google sketchup files for you to enjoy!

Rather ambitious project you've got there. I wish you the best of luck.

If you ever want to release any Sketchup/Google Earth files onto the Google 3D Warehouse, drop me a line so I can add it to the Toronto collection. (if you add a "Toronto" search tag to your file I will also add it)

hey guys, it's been so long since i even looked at this model. but now that i live downtown now, i can actually afford the time to go and look at some of these city blocks. anyways: this is a day's worth of work.
i hope you enjoy.
p.s. if any of you guys want a copy of the sketchup file just email me at oreoshack@gmail.com. i'm wondering if i can send a read-only file to you.

this is great. I played around with sketch-up a few years ago but never got good at it.
