Close Google Earth™ and any CAD product that may be running on your system.
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 2021-2025 (and vertical products i.e. Civil3D, Map, etc).
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.
