Google Maps 3D View - Draw like in CAD?

This is probably a big no, thought I would ask anyways.

Would there be any way possible to draw in autocad with this type of reference? (Similar to that of a point cloud?)

Is the goal the buildings in 3d?   Yes there is a way..but requires some fudging of the facts......

I just thought it would neat to offset draw and trim in a Google Earth type of experience. Something different. Don't get me wrong, I know there is a fudging factor compared to how exact we are within CAD.

Hey Amigo, If you want a model of the site, need to use ReCap.  Basically, you do a screen video of the building / area rotating around it in 360 degrees then use random software to extract each frame from that video as an image. Then you upload to ReCap, where it processes the building, and spits our a 3d model.  Alternately, you can rotate around the building in google earth and take like 40 screen shots, pasting each screen shot into Photoshop on top of each other, then crop out the window area only, and finally upload that to ReCap where it will build your model. From there you can do whatever you want.
