How to extract geometry from Google Earth?

Hey Everyone, I am not new to application development in general. I have experience designing basic CAD plugins, but that is about it. I would like to start a new project. I want to be able to draw and render 3D terrain based on information derived from small segments in Google Earth. How do I do that? I know other applications can do this, like Rhino. So it is possible. The target OS for this functionality is Windows 10 (Desktop).

You start with the public source the SRTM 90m data CGIAR-CSI SRTM 90m DEM Digital Elevation Database[^] Then you need to sort out what you want to do. For example there is already a python import library addon for blender to display the data Import SRTM (.hgt) · vvoovv/blender-geo Wiki · GitHub[^]
