 CAD-Earth Features

Import and export 3D models

from DAE, 3DS, FBX, and OBJ files to AutoCAD, and export them and other 3D entities such as 3D solids, regions, meshes or polymeshes to Google Earth. 3D entities contained in regular or nested blocks can also be exported.

Terrain mesh editing commands

to insert, delete, move, adjust elevation, flatten vertices, and invert, delete, or cut triangles. Break lines can be inserted to refine the terrain configuration. The mesh can be smoothed and adjusted to a control mesh or control points.

Import terrain meshes

from LiDAR and DEM files (GeoTIFF, DEM, HGT, EOO, MEM, CAT.DDF), specifying mesh properties and refinement options and other processing parameters, with the option to process the entire file or to select the area to process.

What are the advantages of using CAD-Earth?

Get high-resolution Images

at no extra cost. Up to 256 curvature corrected image tiles with maximum close-up zoom can be obtained to cover large areas.

Automatic Google Earth startup and object location.

When you export objects and images or import a terrain configuration Google Earth will be automatically activated to show the exact location where the objects are placed. This way, you can be sure that your settings are right.

Commands can be easily executed,

accepting the default options. If you set options for a dialog box, they will be automatically saved.
