How to extract contour lines from Google Earth To Autocad

[@umut2768]

for those who gets the error called : '...The line at line number 1 in file does not appear to contain enough numbers...." try to follow these steps. there might be several problems with it as i encountered with, -your general setting for delimeter should change whatever the text file has. comma(,), or point(.) -based on general setting, dont forget to check your excel file settings for delimeter -if still doesnt work ( for me it wasnt) i saved the excel file as normal excel document(.xls thing) then i used online converter to .cvs . I am not sure but i suppose that, normally in excel save as tab, it is written .cvs with comma and that might be problem. But i did all three and tried one by one, last one fixed the problem for me.

thank youuuuuu so much for the tutorial! this is the best and easiest tutorial I ever found!!!

[@JohanLGT]

For everybory who's getting the message "The line at line number 1 in file does not appear to contain enough numbers" and followed all the pinned comment's steps and it still didn't work, here's the solution: Open the .csv file with Notepad. All the numbers in the lines need to be separated by spaces or tabs (in my case, they were separated by ";"). So, in the Notepad, use the search/replace tool to replace all the ";" into " " (one space), and save the file as .csv again. Then import it to quikgrid just as showed in the video. For me, it worked.

[@Annie-ud3lv]

You probably didn’t fully type the web address; there should be a ‘/ elevation’ at the end

[@adamoarquitecto5245]

Make sure when before clicking convert on GPSVisualizer you check the box that says "Add DEM Elevation data" and drop down "use best available

ik means yor cvs file is using ; instead of a comma (,) as delimiter.

[@victorhugosantos8193]

Hello, no gps visualizer, ir na aba mais opções e selecionar "Converter em plano de texto", ele irá gerar mais opções, após selecionar o arquivo, há uma aba no último ponto escrito "Add DEM elevation data" que por padrão vem escrito não, apenas selecione "best available source". Fazendo desta forma, o arquivo vem com a altitude melhor encontrada.

How do I get the altitude?

[@ryan_christopher97]

While you upload the input file into the GPS Visuliser, there will be a drop down menu for "add DEM elevation data". By default it would be No. You've got to select best available source and then hit convert. You'll then be able to get altitude data in the plain text file.
