    Export dgn data to Google Earth

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: v8i, CONNECT
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Interchange
      Subarea: Google Earth

    Problem

    I need to export .dgn data to be viewed in Google Earth.

    How can this integration be done with MicroStation's Google Earth tools?

    Solution

    You can export models out of MicroStation to be viewed in Google earth via the Google Earth tools available in MicroStation.

    When you export models to Google Earth, you can use the Google Earth Settings tool to define how they are exported to, and displayed in Google Earth. Display options include Hidden Line, Filled Hidden Line and Smooth rendering. Typically, the steps required to display your design model in Google Earth are as follows:

    1. In Google Earth, create a placemark at the required location and save it as a KML file by right-clicking on the created placemark and choosing Save As.
    2. In your design model, use the Define Placemark Monument tool to define a monument point that matches the location of the placemark.
    3. In your design model, use the Export Google Earth (KML) File tool to export your model to a Google Earth KML or a KMZ file (a compressed KML file).

    If you have defined a geographic coordinate system for the model, then step 2 is not required.
