Heh, my Google Earth just stalled cause it's overloaded with 3d Warehouse Models, alot of them from Toronto.
I guess it can't handle all the change in skylines across North America.

The development southwest along the Waterfront of the Blue Jay stadium is amazing.

I have to check out this google earth thing.

Just go to earth.google.com and go to "Free Download".

If you want an upgrade, you could pay 25-50 dollars for it.

Believe me, it's worth it and is totally addicting!!

cool. I've downloaded it.

How do I find the models when I'm flyin' over the cities??
Is there a button I need to push to see wharehouse models(3D)

Thanks..

Im with Caltrane, Ive been to T.O. in Google earth but I don't see the buildings you are talking about.

In the LAYERS menu on the left side, check the box called 3D BUILDINGS.

Zoom into Toronto and then "tilt" the overhead picture (using the horizontal scroll bar located top right) to get a viewing angle you like.

Be patient and buildings will start to load all over the place.

In order to get to the 3D Warehouse network link, go back to the website and look BELOW the Download Free green button.

There are 8 links, and click the one that is called "View 3D Buildings".

Below the cool preview video from youtube, there is a paragraph containing the 3D Warehouse network link.
