Importing the "ground" or terrain mesh from Google Earth is a common requirement.
With the increasing reliance on geospatial data in civil engineering design, the ability to transfer data from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) like Google Earth into Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environments is critical. This paper outlines the methodology for importing Keyhole Markup Language (KML) and KMZ files into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018. It explores the native tools available within the software, addresses common coordinate system challenges, and provides a step-by-step workflow for ensuring geospatial accuracy.
Type MAPCSASSIGN in the command line or right-click your drawing name in the Toolspace > Settings tab and select Edit Drawing Settings .
