Technology for creating 3D models depends on the source data and software processing. The most effective method of creating the data are for aero survey and space survey, as according to these data can be obtained as a metric, and textural data. As the primary spatial data collection form 3D models using DTM. In this paper we consider the possibility of software Google SketchUp to build a 3D terrain, which allows them to quickly create and use a wide range of tasks.
