| Method | Workflow | Best For | Limitations | |--------|----------|----------|--------------| | | Capture Google Street View → Save as JPG/PNG → ATTACH in AutoCAD | Quick reference, rough tracing | No scale, no georeference, perspective distortion | | GE Map + Geolocation | GEOMAP (AutoCAD 2015+) → Brings 2D satellite map, not Street View | Contextual site layout | No street-level imagery | | 360° Panorama Import | Convert 360° image to equirectangular → Insert as flat image | Perspective reference for facades | Distortion makes tracing inaccurate | | Photo Overlay with ALIGN | Use ALIGN or SCALE (Reference) to match image to known dimensions | Semi-accurate tracing | Time-consuming, requires known measurements |
Best for creating accurate site plans, road layouts, and tracing building footprints.
