Convert 3D Scans to Workable KMZ File for Google Earth

I hope this is the correct forum to post this on, if not please help redirect me to the correct location. 

 

I'm working on a project that requires me to convert 3D scans done of a tank compound area to a workable KMZ file which can be used with Google Earth software. 

 

I was provided the 3D scans in three file formas; .pts, .imp, & .rcp. In addition, I was told that this conversion could be done through 3D Civil. 

 

The files can be found here:

The point could is in a local system based on UTM. The UTM has been scaled to ground and translated to make the coordinates easier to work with. To convert to UTM Grid: Add 5460147.417 to Northing; Add 507175.315 to Easting; Then scale around 0,0 0.9995897847. The horizontal datum is NAD83(CSRS)4.0.0.BC.1.GVRD. 

 

I'm hoping that someone on this forum can teach me with creating a workable KMZ file. Any information and guidance would be great. 

 

Thanks!

Hi @themoeszyslak93 ,

 

You are right. You can export the drawing file as KMZ for Goole earth. 

Here is the article with steps.
