In this video we show how to insert terrain and georeferenced imagery from Google Earth into AutoCAD.

This demonstrates the power of Plex.Earth to scale up productivity dramatically, at every stage of the design, by giving the complete and realistic view of your projects' area (wherever they are - worldwide), in just a few minutes.

In this case study, in less than 5 minutes, we created a detailed 3D terrain model of the Agios Georgios island wind farm, in the Aegean Sea, using the unique and brand new capabilities of Plex.Earth.

It all started with a simple coast outline in plain AutoCAD...

Then:

1) We are locating the area in Google Earth, by using the 'Zoom To Area' command of Plex.Earth.

2) Import high-resolution imagery from Google Earth, using the advanced functionality of Plex.Earth to create mosaics for covering large areas - at the highest accuracy.

3) We are importing AutoCAD blocks in the locations of the wind turbines on the island.

4) Using the 'Convert to 3D Imagery', a unique feature introduced in Plex.Earth 4, we are creating a realistic 3D model of the terrain.

5) The new feature 'Snap Objects to Terrain' automatically brings the blocks to their actual elevation.

6) Finally we are exporting the blocks to Google Earth (using the 'Export drawing to Google Earth' command), so we can see and explore our design into its real environment.
