Hi everyone,

I am having an issue when importing a model/overlay (.kmz) created in SketchUp 2026 into Google Earth Pro.

As shown in the attached screenshot, the imported layer renders as a solid, dark, misaligned rectangular overlay that covers the base satellite imagery and clips awkwardly through the ground instead of displaying properly.

Details:

• Modeling Software: SketchUp 2026
• Mapping Tool: Google Earth Pro
• File Format: .kmz
• Problem: Opaque dark box overlay, misaligned orientation, and terrain elevation clipping.

Has anyone using SketchUp 2026 run into this specific dark rectangular overlay bug in Google Earth Pro? What is the fix to get it aligned and displaying correctly on top of the terrain?

Thanks for any help!
