The AUGI Magazine (Page43) this month has information on a free download called CAD to Earth. Available Jan1, 2013. Is this the resolution to future downloading and using Google Images in our drawings?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to import a surface and Image from Google Earth. Basically my steps are as follows:
start GE and C3D find area that I need on GE and zoom in under C3D, insert GE Image and Surface (then it goes straight into select point, and rotation)
Like most discussions i've read.., the import slows down at 49%, and then it chugs for hours if I let it. So i have to cut the cord and re-start both programs.
I saw in a discussion that there are settings that we can change the rows and columns to something like 70x70.
however.... I cannot find where to update this. I typed importgesurface, and clicked on the ribbon as well..., then tried to right click, but it does not take me to the settings. I also figured that I might have to run C3d as admin, but no luck either.
find these settings so I can change them to import a surface and image that is about 15acres?

Does you can still import a google earth image into civil 3d 2013 and if so what are the steps to do so.

I have no problem bringing my google earth image and surface into autocad civil 3d 2011...but when I do bring it in the elevations are not correct...I'm bringing in a google image that have an island over water.... the units are wrong even though i changes to units in autocad...what do I have to do in order for google earth to import the correct elevation into autocad civil 3d 2011 ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedPreviously i`m using version 2009 and importing Google earth image and surface works fine. However, recently i tried with version 2010 and i`m having some problem here (imported surface / contour seems ok but the image is too large like 3x or 4x). How to solve that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMonths back I did this project with multiple surfaces and exported them to Google Earth with no problem. Today, I'm trying to update a surface with some changes. After the changes, I tried to re-export it to Google Earth, but for some reason it's coming in really small. I have my units and zones set to what they have always been.The surface is highlighted in yellow, but it should take up roughly the size of the red circle.

I just installed 2013 on my pc yesterday. The first task I was given was to import a Google Earth image into AutoCAD to try to get some dimensions on a house for an exhibit. I open Google Earth and set my location to import, then I go to the Render tab, select Set Location, I click Import the current location from Google Earth, click Continue, then i get an error message saying Class not registered.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLets say I wanted to put a profile image generated from google earth (a Jpg or Bmp ) on a layer in a side view of autocad for reference, How would I insert it. I have done that with 2008 but can't do it in 2012.The image from google earth has dimensions on it so it would be easy to scale properly to my drawing. So I would like to be able to put it on my dwg. I don't know what (tags means on this page. Also I have saved the image on my computer and I have tried to show it on this post but don't know how. The image is a jpg The format of this posting is asking for a url. as you will see I tried to put C:usersonkelbobdesktopprofile.jpg below but it didn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor our field layouts we simply copy and paste image from google earth then scale them (using CTRL + C and CTRL + V).For some reason now, my image that was already pasted into a drawing now only shows the border of the image, not the image itself. Same story with any new images I try to paste in. How to fix this back so I can view my images?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe Google earth map image I insert into my drawing is flipped (north to south) when view in isometric. The surface I download at the same time is OK. I do modify the original surface by pasting another surface into it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy drawing is set to state plane and feet. when I import GE the elevations are different that those reported on the GE screen. For example at a given location GE reports 538 but the c3d surface report 164 a factor of 3.28. sounds like a meter thing going on. is this normal?

Is ther a setting I am missing? In GE the ground elevation is reported as 45, but on import (drawing set to state plane) the elevation is 15?

I imported Google earth surface (at eye alt 600m) to civil 3d 2012 and created an alignment of length 181m.
When I exported same alignment to Google earth , it showed the length as 190m ( the difference increases with increase in length of alignment) And also the profile view of the alignment in the Civil D & Google earth varies.
I want to take a google or bing map along with its different zoom levels and convert it into an autoCAD image.
Is this possible without using 3rd party software?
The end goal is to essentially have a replica of google-maps in terms of zooming and detail, + the ability for me to add links to the map which take me to different pages/areas of the map.
The best I have been able to come up wtih so far is taking screen captures at various zoom levels and attempting to vectorize the images OR taking screen caps at different zooms and spanning between different zooms via page switching creating the illusion of zooming, both of which are adequate as far as functionality is concerned, but I want things the design to be a little more robust if possible.
I am using Autocad LT 2013. I wish to use Autocad to draw subdivision lines and need to overlay satellite imagery (Google Earth or Google Maps) in tandem with Garmin GPS waypoints taken in the field.
In the 'type a command' ribbon, when I type in 'GEOGRAPHICLOCATION' and select 'Import the current location from Google Earth' (opens Google Earth, where you can retrieve a location to import).
Then a window appears which says 'Navigate to the location in Google Earth that you want to import before continuing (for best results, configure the view in Google Earth to look directly over the location that you want to import).
When I select 'continue' the command ribbon asks that I, 'select a point for the location <0, 0, 0>:
I have looked at the co-ordinates on google earth and attempted to enter but it does not feel right. Then says 'specify the north direction or (angle):s, then 'Point or option keyword required'.
Any way to have the ability to draw subdivision lines on satellite imagery. Garmin's Basecamp will allow drawing on top of google earth but I do not want tracks, I will only use the waypoints made by the gps device, but I need to draw measured lines that reflect the co-ordinates of the location.
I wanted to public this design to Google Earth, but some how the model is flat wiith existing ground. I did choose "Drape entities on ground" and also tried "elevation relative to ground" it is sitll a flat model.

I import the surface and create a boundary. How do I calculate cut/fill quantities? I tried creating a finished ground surface then making a tin volume surface to compare the two. However, I do not know how to create a fnished ground surface. I have also tried grading in civil 3d. Cannot get anyting to work.

Now that details of the R2013 version of AutoCAD Civil 3D are public, I wanted to update you on the status of Google Earth import and export workflows. The following statement summarizes where we are:
Due to limitations on the use of the Google Earth API, AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013 does not include API access to allow customers to import Google Earth imagery and/or surfaces directly into Civil 3D. We are aware of the importance of including preliminary surface and aerial imagery in your design workflows and are actively looking for an alternative. However, we cannot share any specific information about potential future product enhancements. When appropriate, we will communicate technology plans via various channels including Autodesk Labs, Facebook, Blogs and the Civil 3D Discussion Group.
As noted above, we'll update you as soon as we can share information on technology plans that target the workflow of incorporating readily available image and surface information into your design workflows.

I have modeled a building that's a typical shoe box (rectangular shape building).
When I searched the address in Google earth, the true north of the site is not perpendicular to the building: it's angled.
When I chose "Acquire from Google earth" at the Site level, it gave me exactly what I saw in Google earth.
My question is:
I have finished the model of the building in Revit which doesn't align with what I acquired from Google earth. How do you align the model to the Google earth image? Do you have to literally rotate the entire building to align the Google earth image?
Also is there a difference between Google earth and Google earth pro for this task?
I'm trying to load the Google Earth Extension in AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 on a 32 bit machine (XP)
I keep getting this error in Map: Import GE Image unknown command.
Demandload is set to 3. I have loaded the Google Earth.cuix. I have added it the support file search path.
We have it loaded on many machines that are 64 bit and have no problems. Is there something I have to do with the 32 bit machine?
What happened with Google Earth extension? I cannot find it in labs. I've installed Map2012 on new laptop and I'm sure I had Google Earth plug in on the old one.
with where do I find GE for Map 2012?
So I missed getting the extension by a day and every where I look for it just points back to the labs where it is no longer available. I used Autodesk CAD and REVIT full design suites 2012.

We do have one user at work who has a drawing that we believe was uploaded onto Google Earth from AutoCAD but it appears it is loaded onto Google Earth using a KMZ file. Would I need to create a KMZ plotter or am I looking in the total wrong direction when trying to get this onto Google Earth?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to export a layer from Map 3D to google earth? It appears the built in google earth extension only exports linework that is part of the DWG and not GIS layers.
For example, I have arcview shapefiles of drainage areas for a storm drain report that have been connected to throught the data connect palette, and stylized through the task pane. I would think there should be an easy way to export this drainage layer directly to a KML file that can then be opened up in Google Earth. How to go about it other than converting a map to a dwg and then exporting it to GE?
When I capture the elevation data from google earth, the elevations on the grid once in Autocad Map 3D are not the same as shown in google earth. It seems that the elevation have been scaled up.
