Google Building Maker cancelled

Probably not a big deal to most scenery makers, but I for one am sad to hear that Google will no longer be supporting it's Building Maker online tool. This tool allowed the user to create basic buildings using available google earth imagery, then save the building model in the Google 3D warehouse. The models could be opened with Google Sketchup and edited for inclusion to FS scenery with a couple quick manipulations using various free development tools.

Granted the models were not super high quality, but it was a fast and easy way to populate your scenery areas with real buildings, creating a better sense of imersion in FS.

I am sad to see it go, and will have to learn new ways to create my scenery buildings for areas where I can't personally go get imagery of the subject to be modeled.
