(ensure you have turned of Hardware acceleration) With the surface still selected > right-click and choose Object viewer to see if the surface has draped successfully. Next you will switch to a SW Isometric view using the Viewcube. Select the Surface from the drawing and then choose to Drape image from the Context sensitive Ribbon. You are prompted on the command line to choose a coordinate system or use the coordinate system assigned to the drawing.Ĭlick Enter to accept the drawing coordinate system. In Civil 3D, pick Google Earth drop down and choose Google Earth Image and Surface. If the Image is tilted in Google earth you will get problems, so always ensure you type the letter “R” in Google Earth to re-orient your view North and have it fly to an orthographic TOP view. Ensure you have Google Earth open in the background. This is done from the Insert TAB from the RIBBON. Next we need to import the Google Earth surface and Image. Type UNITS in the command line and ensure the measurements are meters. Once the coordinate system has been assigned, the next step would be to ensure the drawing UNITS are set up. So if you have not yet imported Google Earth images and surfaces, here is a quick run through to get you started…īefore Importing Google Earth images into Civil 3D you should ensure you assign the correct coordinate system first using the Settings Tab from Toolspace. I have found some unwanted results when viewing draped images, and this seems to resolve it every time. On further investigation it seemed that he was not the only one and I have come up with a couple of ways to work-around this issue and will discuss this in a way that I would approach it.ĪLWAYS ENSURE HARDWARE ACCELERATION IS TURNED OFF I have recently had to help one of my clients figure out why after Importing Google Earth Image and Surface, he was not able to view the draped image in object viewer and also create a rendered image for visualisation.
