Close Google Earth™ and any CAD product that may be running on your system.
Don't have Google Earth™? Install now.
After downloading, run the Executable File (.exe) and follow the screen instructions. Upon finishing the installation, restart your computer.
Open your CAD software. CAD-Earth should appear in the toolbar or ribbon. It will also show as a shortcut on your Windows desktop.
What are the limitations of the CAD-Earth demo version?
The CAD-Earth Demo Version has a limit of 500 points when importing a terrain mesh from Google Earth™. Only 10 objects can be imported to or exported to Google Earth™. Also, all images imported to or exported to Google Earth™ have ‘CAD-Earth Demo Version’ text watermark lines. The CAD-Earth Registered Version can process any number of points and objects and the images don’t have text watermark lines. Once purchased, the demo can be converted to a registered version applying an activation key.
What are the system requirements to use CAD-Earth?
CAD-Earth doesn’t need any additional requirements from the ones needed to run your CAD program optimally (please consult your documentation).
Currently, CAD-Earth works in Microsoft® Windows®10/11 64 bits and in the following CAD programs: AutoCAD® Full 2018-2026 (and vertical products i.e. Civil3D, Map, etc) and BricsCAD® V19-V21 Pro/Platinum.
CAD-Earth doesn't work on Mac, Revit or AutoCAD LT platforms.
What’s the difference between CAD-Earth Basic, Plus and Premium versions? With CAD-Earth Basic you can import and export images and objects to Google Earth™. With CAD-Earth Plus, you can additionally import terrain configurations from Google Earth™, draw contour lines, and create cross sections or profiles. CAD-Earth Plus also allows you to perform slope zone analysis, along with many other additional features. CAD-Earth Premium is the most complete option, allowing Basic and Plus commands along with 4D animation and advanced mesh options.
