Inserting a Google Earth Viewer into a web page / blog

This is a trial of the Google Earth Gadget. Link in the title of this to the online gadget which generates the code that inserts this viewer.

It is a model created in Autocad and imported into 3D Studio for a walk through animation back in 1993 by Nick Warring - a student employed by me as a Research Assistant at the time.. The goal was to use the walk through during meetings with the people in the neighbourhood when Victoria University School of Architecture was looking to move into a refurbished building. The top floor and the atrium were added to the existing building.

The building was made into a Google Earth model in 2005 and uploaded to the Google Earth Community. This was during Rachel Ryan's research Masters in Building Science which explored representation of data / information within a 3D digital environment. Part of Rachel's preliminary studies was to construct a 3D Google Earth model of the Wellington CBD. Unfortunately this has not seen the light of day for 3 years because the owners of the copyright cannot agree to making the model widely available.

Here is the School of Architecture in Vivian Street (grabbed from the file uploaded to the Google Earth Community in 2005):
