Connect to online terrain data (like SRTM or Aster DEM) for that specific georeferenced area. Use the tool to create elevation lines. Export to AutoCAD: Save or export the generated contours as a DXF or DWG file. Open this file in AutoCAD to see your 3D contour lines. 3. Native AutoCAD Geolocation (Imagery Only) export topography from google earth to autocad

This is widely considered the gold standard for this workflow. The Plex-Earth plugin allows you to select an area in AutoCAD and instantly import georeferenced satellite imagery and 3D terrain. It can automatically generate 3D meshes and contour lines within your drawing. Use this if Google Earth already shows the
