Import Google Earth™ image to CAD Export CAD screenshot to Google Earth™.The command to import terrain mesh from Google Earth has been greatly optimized for speed and performance.Avoid misplaced images or objects using new commands to georeference a drawing by locating entities in a map or selecting two points and typing their latitude/longitude coordinates.You can move, scale and rotate reference entities in real-time until they match the exact location. New map control where you can preview drawing entities in the real world.Drawing entities can be moved, scaled or rotated in the map until they match the site. Preview position of selected drawing entities in a map when selecting a coordinate system to georeference a drawing.Calculate cut/fill volumes between two terrain meshes and get a volume report in Excel.You can select the area to process and set filter parameters.

Import terrain meshes from Lidar and GeoTIFF files.Export 3D solids, regions, meshes, or polymeshes to Google Earth.

Now you can export a CAD-Earth terrain mesh (imported from Google Earth) to a LandXML file, which can be imported by Civil 3D and other software products to create surfaces.

Export terrain meshes from Google earth to Autodesk® Civil 3D®.

Process images up to 10x faster from different providers (Google, Google Earth, Bing) in satellite, map, or hybrid image mode in normal, medium, high or highest resolution.

Automatic load of commands in each AutoCAD session and extensive help in each step. You can pick CAD-Earth commands from a toolbar, from the screen menu, or at the command prompt. This is a great tool and easy to use.CAD-Earth is designed to easily import/export images, objects, terrain meshes, and 3D models between Google Earth™ and Autodesk® AutoCAD®, and create dynamic contour lines and profiles. The “Create Alignment from Existing Alignment” command will save you time and confusion by not having the profile copied. Name and Set the Style for the copied alignment. This command is located under the Home tab under the Create Design palette under the Alignment commands. This will allow you to name and assign a style to the copied Alignment with no worries of having to deal with an unwanted copied Profile. Try using the “Create Alignment from Existing Alignment” command. If you’re ONLY interested in copying the Alignment itself, there is a better command to use that doesn’t copy the Profile with it.

In this example, you can see in the Prospector that the Alignment “Jefferies Ranch Rd” was copied and if you look under the Alignment collection, you will also see that the Profile was copied too. If you didn’t realize that you had a copy of your Profile on top of the original profile it could lead to confusion and problems later. By doing this, you will see that the Profile is also copied and offset by the same amount. Move the copied Alignment so it is offset such that you can see it graphically. Within Civil 3D, zoom in to where you can see both the Alignment and Profile at the same time and select an Alignment to copy. This could lead to problems later if you didn’t notice this at the time of making the copy. I always knew I could use the AutoCAD Copy command within Civil 3D and I would always make sure to let people know that if you have a profile and a profile created graphically, that it will be copied also. In this Blog I wanted to share a couple different ways to copy an alignment in Autodesk Civil 3D.
