I am going to show you how to bring your architectural models into a 3D google earth map within Unreal Engine 5. You will be able to take any model from revit, rhino or sketchup and insert it anywhere in the world within a google earth tileset. The advantages of this as you can see is that you have satelilate accurate massing at your disposal and can very quickly drop in your design within this context and have the full power of urneal engine behind this.

In addition you can create animations, assets, materials, data overalys and even first person chatacters to walk around if you wish.
This is all now possible through the plugin Cesium within unreal. Cesium is a Platform for 3D Geospatial which lets you work with geosptail data including 3d tile datasets for both web and gaming engines. This now includes The google earth dataset which was released quite recently.
