best way to make site plan w/ contour, road, building from google map?

[bobbywijya]

Hi,

I'm looking the best way to generate site plan with countours, roads, buildings existing from a live online map (google, etc), so I can be precise to design my project.

I have tried to use so many methods, but all of them only gave me the contour lines without the existing roads and buildings. That thing makes me kinda hard to start designing since i don't really know where is the existing road or buildings.

any solution or method for this? please share.

If you're looking for a simple 3D model of the whereabouts with heights of surrounding buildings, you can also try https://cadmapper.com/

It's great if you're making a video of your project so that you can have a background.

Infraworks can pull data from multiple formats. It might be worth looking into.

@bobbywijya : Just noticed I posted the wrong link.  Good think @Viveka_CD is on the ball.  Regarding CADtoEarth: I used this add-in to create many a Toposurface in Revit. It works like a charm. Easy and accurate.  Resulting Toposurface goes toe-to-toe with Toposurface created from Civil 3D Mapping of same site.  It gets two big thumbs up from me.  My only irritation is that it's not available for 2019.  

Cheers.

If you or your company has the AEC Collections have a look at using InfraWorks
