Plex.Earth Tools for AutoCAD
Plex.Earth is a plug-in which provides a comprehensive set of tools which allows connecting AutoCAD with Google Earth, which among many others are:
- Create mosaics and import color imagery from Google Earth right into AutoCAD, in order to:
- Cover regions of any shape (rectangular and polygonal)
- Create imagery bands along corridors, for the design of roads, highways, railroads, canals, rivers or any other linear feature.
- Import terrain points from Google Earth, inside a grid which can be defined precisely and limited to the boundary of the project site of any scale.
- Embed your own on-site surveying data to enrich and correct inaccuracies of Google Earth terrain, in order to precisely define the terrain features of your project
- Automatically create contour lines and triangulations (3d faces) directly from the terrain points imported by Google Earth.
- Publish to Google Earth whole drawings or selected objects from AutoCAD, including hatches, texts, blocks, 3d faces, 3d solids etc.
- Import KML files into AutoCAD and create objects for the geographic elements contained.
- Export geo-referenced images and maps from AutoCAD to Google Earth.
