Introduction
Did you know that with our free version, Plex-Earth Lite, you can view any Imagery and Terrain that you or your colleagues have imported previously with the full Plex-Earth version?
The full version of Plex-Earth offers unique capabilities, with one of the most valuable features being the availability of high-quality, up-to-date imagery and terrain data from the best providers in the field.
Every time you import imagery or terrain under our paid subscription plans and save your DWG, you have the ability to reload and reopen your design along with the imported imagery anytime afterward.
Saved projects can be reopened through our paid subscription plans or transferred to other PCs in order to be demonstrated in Plex-Earth Lite. Isn't that awesome?
In the following tutorial, the process of viewing imagery and terrain imported with the full version of Plex-Earth to any computer is described in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Import High-quality Imagery or Terrain with Plex-Earth
After importing georeferenced aerial and satellite imagery or terrain into your CAD drawing with Plex-Earth, go on and save your DWG locally.
Step 2: Open your DWG in Plex-Earth Lite
Start your session with Plex-Earth Lite and open the DWG you saved earlier with the full Plex-Earth version.
Then, proceed with restoring your models.
And there you have it!
Instant access to high-quality, up-to-date imagery and terrain data from the best providers, easily and freely.
