In the “Google Earth – New Placemark” dialog, enter a name and click OK.
Repeat for additional reference points.
Save Placemark in Google Earth.
In Google Earth, right-click on each placemark and select “Save Place As”.
Note the directory, and click Save.
Repeat for all additional placemarks.
Add Placemark Monuments to MicroStation.
In MicroStation, go to: Tools > Geographic > Define Placemark Monument.
In the “Define Placemark Monument” dialog, select the source “Google Earth Placemark File”.
Click on the magnifying glass symbol.
In the “Select Placemark files” dialog, select the KMZ file(s) containing the placemark monuments that were saved from Google Earth (step 2).
Click Done.
Place the placemark(s) to the corresponding reference location(s) in MicroStation.
In Google Earth, zoom to the location to capture.
