Does Google Earth Pro Export Terrain Data That Chief Can Import--3D Dwg?

[zowie123]

Hi!

 

Just a thought as I'm sitting here drawing up terrain so I can create an entry guard fence to a house about 100 yards beyond rolling hills yonder.  

 

Has anyone tried or had any success with merging google earth pro files with chief.  I don't really know what format they export in.  

 

Any help would be...well...helpful:)

 

Thank you,

 

Barry

I use Sketchup for that, never tried with CA.

I found an old post about google data being a bunch of triangles. I think I once saw someone translate such triangle data to topo line either in rhino or sketchup.  At that point perhaps it could be exported as a  3D dwg.  Has anyone done this with any success?

 

It sure would be nice to be able to use Google Earth for terrain data--it would be like the future, but only now.  

 

Cheers!
