    • How to help
      1. Take Some Pictures
        1. Choose a structure or neighborhood you want to see in 3D. Make sure it hasn't been photographed already (see list here).
      2. Take photos of structures (businesses, houses, water towers, outhouses, plaster-of-paris dinosaurs at the goofy golf, etc)
        • Photos should be as straight-on as possible (no need to get too artsy) and to include all edges of the structure.
        • Some examples of public galleries can be found at the Chattanooga 3D Picasa Gallery.
      1. Upload those photos to an online album (at Picasaweb, Flickr, etc) and email a link to photos@chattanooga3d.com. Or email photos directly.
        • Please indicate what the photos are of (name of structure, address, which blocks, or which neighborhood...)
      2. Sketchup Modeling (not as hard as it sounds)
        1. Choose a structure or neighborhood you want to see in 3D. Make sure it hasn't been 3D-modeled already (see list).
      3. Create Google Sketchup models of those structures. Click here to download and learn about Google Sketchup.
      4. Email your models to sketchup@chattanooga3d.com.
        • Please indicate what the models are of (name of structure, address, which blocks, or which neighborhood...)
      5. CAD Modeling
    1. Are you an architect or firm with some local CAD files? Please send to cad@chattanooga3d.com. They can be "simplified"-- we don't need to know where the plumbing or electrical is, for example.
