It is difficult to position models when the terrain accuracy is poor,
especially when there are limitations to the amount of Modeled Terrain
we are permitted to use.
Due to the flat nature of GE's Terrain, one of my models is partially
below grade.
It doesn't make sense to place the entire model above grade (with a
modeled hill in front to cover that which is not above grade in
reality) because the model will look out of place next to other
models.
But I have modeled it accurately with hopes that "some time This
Century" Google will upgrade my local Terrain and Imagery, allowing my
model to be viewed properly.
My only other option is to upload a model of my town, entirely on a
large Modeled Terrain that reflects the true terrain.
Alternately, I wish I could afford to have one of the Satellite
companies redo this area ... as I'm sure there are many that feel the
same way.
Anyway, here is the model I am currently whining about.

I guess it could be worse.
