Surface from google earth in coordinate system

[Mark_CV3D]

Hello!

 

I have some problems importing surface from google earth.

When importing surface and image from earth into civil3d 2010 the surface isn´t placed in a coordinate system. Instead it seems to get centered around x & y = 0. How do I get my surface from google earth placed in the same coordinate-system appearing at the bottomline of google earth?

 

Thanks in advance!

Before you import from Google, set up the appropriate coordinate system for the area in C3D- Toolspace > Settings > Rt-click on Drawing name > Edit Drawing Settings > Units and Zone > Zone.

When importing from Google when prompted for 'Use coordinate system for image location' hit enter for the default. Under the Map menu > Tools > Track Coordinate Systems- a palette should open that displays the coordinates

Or... have a look here

I have Carlosn with 2008, is this application not an option?

Do I need 2010 and Civil 3d?

 

Thanks,
