Description

What used to take hours of manual imagery imports, screenshots, and per-pixel alignment now takes minutes. Plex-Earth pulls satellite and aerial imagery straight into AutoCAD, fully georeferenced, so engineers can skip the guesswork and get to designing. Choose from basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, add custom WMS/WMTS connections, or tap into premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor. Every mosaic tile is individually georeferenced for precision, a feature unique to Plex-Earth. For terrain, you can generate contours in seconds, run slope and aspect analysis, calculate cut and fill, or bring in GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM data. Two-way KML functionality moves data between AutoCAD and Google Earth without file juggling. Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D, and BricsCAD.
