When you modify object settings the corresponding contour lines, profiles or sections are dynamically updated. If you set options for a dialog box, they will be automatically saved.
Commands can be easily executed, accepting the default options. This way, you can be sure that your settings are right. 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. Automatic Google Earth startup and object location.
Up to 256 curvature corrected image tiles with maximum close-up zoom can be obtained to cover large areas. Get high- resolution Images at no extra cost.Entities contained in blocks and nested blocks can now be exported to Google Earth or a KMZ file. Option to save the image in the drawing to avoiding empty images when the file path is not found. The grid cell width and height, shrinkage percent, strip topsoil depth, and net cut/fill areas and volumes are also shown. Get Excel cut/fill volume reports, showing the average cut/fill depth, the cell partial area, cut/fill area, and volume at each grid station.Every element of the grid can be customized, specifying line type, color, layer and scale, text size, style, and color. Depths between the mesh and a comparison mesh are calculated at every grid intersection inside a defined region.
Perform cut/fill volume calculations by the grid method. You can adjust the vertical scale for the profiles, measure distance and slope selecting two points, and zoom to extents or to a window. Display profile sections from selected terrain meshes by defining a cutting line. By right-clicking on a node, a context menu will be displayed to select commands according to the node selected. Terrain Mesh Explorer, to organize your projects and have access to mesh importing, editing and visualization commands. Export terrain mesh to a text XYZ or GeoTIFF file. Import terrain meshesfrom LiDAR and DEM files (GeoTIFF, DEM, HGT, E00, 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. The mesh can be smoothed and adjusted to a control mesh or control points. Break lines can be inserted to refine the terrain configuration. Terrain mesh editing commands to insert, delete, move, adjust elevation, flatten vertices, and invert, delete, or cut triangles. 3D entities contained in regular or nested blocks can also be exported. 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. We chose the above location because it was offered as an example below the search box. (the format shown in the Google Earth status bar does not work: 10 S 580961.91 m N 4142077.66 m E) Positive is North or East, negative is South or West. You can also use either positive and negative or add compass directions after the numbers. A comma between latitude and longitude is also optional. It is quite flexible and you can simply leave spaces rather than degrees, minutes and seconds symbols. This can lead to confusion when working with KML, which uses the reverse notation.
When using latitude and longitude always put latitude first. You do not need to change the options in order to search with a different notation. We found that the search function of Google Earth can deal with all the above formats. Degrees, Decimal Minutes (a variation on the above).Degrees, Minutes, Seconds ( Latitude, Longitude).To learn about the different systems and how they work, Wikipedia is a good place to start: However, KML files always use decimal degrees so placemarks and other features are actually saved using decimal degrees and converted to and from that for entry and display. If you go to Tools->Options->3D View and look in the ‘Show Lat/Long’ section there are five different coordinate systems listed and whichever system you select will be what Google Earth uses to display locations, both in the status bar as well as in the properties of placemarks.

A GEB reader recently asked us how to use UTM coordinates in Google Earth and we thought it might be a good idea to explore it a bit.
