DWG and Google Earth. By now I am sure most of you have seen/tried Google Earth. If not, the idea behind Google Earth is simple: it’s a globe that sits inside your computer. You point and zoom to any place on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop.

If you are using Autodesk AutoCAD based software (AutoCAD, ADT, ABS) to create 3D designs digitally you can now take this to the next level and place these within Google Earth using ExtractKML from the Avatech Solutions DEV team.

How does it work? Here is a step-by-step rundown:

1. Simplify your model down to 3D faces by exploding and binding/inserting references.
2. Run the add-in.
3. Determine the location on the Earth to place your model (based on latitude/longitude – imported, if you wish, from a Google Earth placemark).
4. Determine the orientation direction for your model (by a second placemark or compass heading).
5. The add-in generates a KML file, which can be viewed inside of Google Earth.
   

I have been using this for a while and taking my own ADT models and placing/sharing them with other Google Earth users. If you create something unique drop me an e-mail with the KML file to import and view. :)
