Then type PTS2PLINE and select all points.
Save as .txt or .csv (AutoCAD can read both).
To make the terrain changes visible:
Use the IMPORTXYZ command (if available) or a LISP routine.
Use a formula to combine them into a single string for AutoCAD, such as: =A2&","&B2&","&C2 . In AutoCAD, type the command MULTIPLE followed by POINT . export elevation profile from google earth to autocad
AutoCAD expects plain coordinates (X,Y,Z) – usually Easting, Northing, Elevation. Since Google Earth gives Lat/Long, you have two options:
Clean the data so you only have three columns: , Northing (Y) , and Elevation (Z) . Then type PTS2PLINE and select all points
If you work in civil engineering, surveying, or landscape architecture, you’ve likely faced this challenge: you need the elevation data of a proposed road or trail, but you don’t have a full topographic survey yet.
