First of all, this is not only available for NY, there are a lot of cities with this 3d textured buildings.
And on second term, this buildings are not created with SketchUp. Google uses an automatic secret program to do these.
But Google it is not the only one that makes 3d buildings for Google Earth, there are a lot of users that contributes creating models with SketchUp around the world, that creates better models that theese automatic ones. I’m one of them.
Kind Regards.
