Right, things I found.
Firstly I found a sneaky boulder which had
been drawn with a wall line. I now know about the search and select function in
the map editor this is clearly very useful for checking feature types and it
will be in regular use from now on.
I found a pillar without the –outside
in option on.
With these two things corrected the kml
output was nearly there I just had a few strange shapes to certain bits of the
map so next I looked at the open passages. I put extra wall lines across the
open ends one at a time and this sorted the strange shapes but doing this
showed that not all open passage ends caused a problem some rendered fine with
a straight edge between the two wall ends. It was obvious which open ends
caused problems as these were the origin points of the strange additional
shapes.
Feeling quite pleased with myself now, just
the other 4/5 th2’s to sort out to get a nice Google earth image of the system
so far.
Thanks
Nick.

I will use my worst kml map export and
trim it back to just walls to simplify it. I will experiment with closing
passage ends etc as there are several on this map and see what happens. I shall
report back.

and all look OK. I notice that other people have had issues with this a while
back and even noticed that Andrew stopped using kml output. In all cases the
compile runs with no warnings and the pdf output is fine.

I have not stopped, just googlemaps got rid of the easy way to put kml on, by
embedding the links. They are more fussy than pdf, bug looks like you have checked
for the right things. Sometimes you need to close the end of a scrap with an
invisible wall for the algorithm to work, this was a solution to a previous
email thread I started on loc models, but it seems to apply to kml as well.
Currently I am away with limited tech so cannot find the thread, hopefully
someone else will help you with the rest, otherwise I will in 10days or
so
