Rendering, CAD, and Google Earth

Export a layout image, 2D or 3D CAD drawing, or KMZ.

Rendering

Choose Download › Rendering. In Download rendering, choose a top-down view or the current view, select the drawing layers and module color, then click Download.

To show a particular 3D angle, position the editor view before opening the dialog and use the current view. The download is a PNG.

CAD

Choose Download › CAD. Review the drawing layers and module color, then select:

  • Units: Feet or Meters.
  • Heights: 3D or 2D plan.

Click Download. The ZIP includes the DXF and associated imagery. Keep the files together when opening the drawing in your CAD software.

Use 3D when you need layout heights or terrain-following geometry. Use 2D plan for a flat plan drawing.

Google Earth

Choose Download › Google Earth to save a KMZ. Open it in Google Earth to view the design in its geographic location.

Check the resulting placement and visible layers before sharing it. For an image of the exact editor view, use Rendering.
