OpenUtilities Substation Help

Synchronize Google Earth View

Used to have Google Earth navigate to the current OpenUtilities Substation view. If Google Earth is not open when the tool is used, it will be opened automatically.

Note: This tool works only with 32 bit Google Earth. 64 bit Google Earth is not supported for this tool.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Utilities > Geographic > Follow Google Earth View
  • Toolbox: Geographic

As Google Earth supports only a limited camera model with a fixed lens length and restricts the camera to pointing downward only, the Google Earth views will not always match the OpenUtilities Substation view exactly, but should provide a relatively good approximation for most views.
