Yeah, I've been meaning to do this for a while. Seems like a limitation for now is that you'll need to download Google Earth to use it — the web viewer's importing of files is very broken.

Yes, this data is non-extractable for very good reason! It's expensive to produce, using an intensive visual/LIDAR approach, and thus proprietary.
That much I understood — there were some GPU model extractors that allow you to rip geometry straight from the graphics card, but Google is clever enough that if they detect you using one, they revert to 2D view. Ah well!
Anyway, sorry to derail.
