Dear Sirs,

 

I would like to extract elevation from a KMT or KMZ file from Google Earth! to use them in Autodesk Civil 3D (to DWG file).

Is that possible? I was looking and reading about the Google files inside the FME Knowledge center, but I couldn't find any topics which lead to the answer to my question!

I am very new to FME and this is my first time to use FME. I hope someone can help me with it. Thank you so much for your attention and your help.

Wishing you a wonderful day.

Kindly regards

Hi @salwan

 

I believe thatyou can use the transformer CoordinateExtractor:

Parameters:

 

This transformer generate attributes: x,y and z.

 

Thanks,

Excellent @salman

Have you a nice day too


Dear Danilo,

I am afraid I need some help (my apology for disturbing you). I have done the following:

I have saved a selected area (using polygon) in google earth

I saved the file as KMZ ( the size of the file was very small about 657byets)

I created a new reader, I attached the google file to it with the needed coordinate system to the reader

The file contains NO Z value!

What am willing to realize, is to strip all the Z value from a large area on google earth

But it seems for me unclear how to put this issue together. I am very new for FME and this is my first use

I hope that you have some tips to manage that

Thank you so much for your help

Hi @salwan

 

Could you share here your kml file to investigate better?

Thanks,

Dear Danilo,

Thank you so much for your response very very appreciated. Here are the 2 Google Earth KML, KMZ files.

Thank you so much

Hi @salwan

Thanks yours files.

I open the files in FME Data Inspector and there are polygons in 2D.

In GoogleEarth = Do you want to get the Buildings inside your Polygons:?

 

I believe that is necessary to use the API for Google Earth to integrate with the features from GoogleEarth, using Python libraries - PythonCaller:

https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/

 

Thanks,

Danilo


Dear Danilo,

Millions of thanks for each moment that you spent on helping me. I don't want the building Z value but the profile of the roads and the existing Ground. I would like to extract the Z value to implement directly to civil 3d DWG drawing to create a surface which I can use to set up my model on it.

 

Regards,

Salwan

Hi @salwan

No problem! 🙂 Thanks.

In my opinion is necessary to try to do this with API in Google Earth.
