EARTHENGINE -API INSTALLATION ERROR

 QGIS

Earth engine installation issue.

 I was trying to install Google earth plugins in QGIS. I received an error requiring me to install earthengine API before continuing.

After trial and error I found out this:

Earth Engine API by Google is easy to install. The instructions are located here:

https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install

If you follow the directions, you might get stuck with this :

>>> pip install earthengine-api --upgrade

Tracebak blabh ablah b

fiel <lkdfjdkj> line  in 

Name error syntax ^install.

I didn't know that you have to run the "pip install earthengine-api  upgrade under the regular Windows CMD  shell.

 

 

for instance: run Win+R or find your CMD (command prompt)-you can right-click start icon and select windows powershell   from Windows start.

You should see in your prompt a single ">" or actually c:\Users\[yourname]>

Then type:
pip install earthengine-api --upgrade,  and hit enter to install the API.

If successful you willneed to authenticate earthengine

type on the prompt >earthengine authenticate

You will see a browser window asking to authenticate your Google account and you will get a generated code. Paste the code on the command line, enter and you have successfully installed the Earthengine API

On the same command prompt type Earthengine --version

Section Editor- Markers are too big.

 

 It is very annoying how the section editor view is configured out of the box on Civil 3D: 

The markers are way too big for Out of the Box. These Markers on the subassembly points are different on the Section Editor and are hard to find out which markers they are in the many markers that exist.

 

This is what I recommend to change(shown with a red tick)

   

The other change I recommend is to reduce the scale of the  markers in the preview window

The markers are different than those you've chosen on your style to display on your drawing. Under Settings , Multipurpose Styles>Marker Styles> Projection in Section

 

Reduce the scale of the marker to be able to see your section properly, the default can set at 0.01" and to use the drawing scale to change the size when you zoom in/out.

Now the markers are at a more easier to see size.

 

Cannot add layouts using Design Center-AutoCAD LT 2016

AutoCAD LT 2016
Adding layouts from one drawing to another without using Design Center.

     I was trying to add layouts from one drawing to another using Design Center. When I selected the layout and "right-clicked" and selected 'Add layout' my drawing command line would state "Layout (s) added. However, there was no layout(s) added unto my drawing. I searched in vain for a solution since Design Center is very handy to use.
    I found i had to use a simpler way to add the layout by going to the layout and selecting any layout and right-clicking and choosing "From template.." The importing of layouts from a template .dwt also allows you add layouts from any  .dwg file. If the layout is imported a short loading will take place and the lower right part of the window will have a loading bar stating "Scanning drawing". Once the layout is successfully imported it will be the last layout in the drawing.
