Key differences between the two versions and their workflow
Everything offered in Plex-Earth 5D is included in Plex-Earth 2023, PLUS enhancements and newly added features. The workflow in both versions is almost exactly the same.
In Plex-Earth 2023, Google Earth is now offered as a terrain data provider. You also have the opportunity to order a custom drone flight for your project area.
Additional Terrain Data Provider - Google Earth
By installing the required version, you can now import terrain data from Google Earth. See how to activate Google Earth as a terrain provider here.
To import terrain from Google Earth, do the steps just like in 5D (tutorial) and select Google Earth as the provider.
Selecting Google Earth as Terrain Provider in Plex-Earth 2023
You can choose your preferred terrain resolution and even consider the elevations of above-surface features like buildings, trees, etc. available in Google Earth to be included in the terrain import.
Book your own custom drone flight, almost anywhere in the world!
Need high-precision terrain data for your project site? With Plex-Earth 2023, you can now order a drone flight fully-customized to your project's needs.
Book a drone flight via the “Create Flight” button, select a closed polyline of your area of interest, pick your preferred product, and finalize the order. We will keep you posted regarding the flight updates and several deliverables will be sent to you after the flight.
