Export Multiple Caves to Single KML Model
Hi Folks, Is it supported to export a model of multiple caves to a single KML file? When I attempt the export, the entrance placemarks of both caves show up, but only the first sourced caves centerline is exported. Not only that, all of the placemarks are grouped in a single folder. Conversely, exporting a cave-list of multiple caves to KML works as expected, with both caves showing up in individual folders. Thanks. Scott
Yes, it should work just fine. I have a least one from earlier this year with seven cave centrelines and many surface points. Only thing that has gone bad (for me) in recent months is that the nice entrance icons are now red Xs.

Those red Xs are sign that there is not correct path to that nice entrance icon. Check your kml (ASCII) file. Martin Odesláno z iPhonu 29. 10. 2019 v 8:40, Bruce Mutton <bruce@tomo.co.nz>:

I have done this, and it wasn't even hard! The attached files show how I took four separate cave maps and combined them into one. -- Bill Gee On Monday, October 28, 2019 11:24:21 PM CDT Scott Falkingham wrote:

Thanks for the quick responses. With Bill's examples, I was able to get it working. All I had to do was to switch from sourcing multiple .th files in the thconfig to sourcing a single master .th file with its own survey that input the individual .th files in it. Fantastic.

It wasn't even hard! That is, it was not hard AFTER I figured out how to do it :-) Until then it was a pain ... There is one feature I have found that does not work. It has not annoyed me enough yet to go looking for a solution. One of my four maps has a section where two passages run pretty much the same way, one directly above the other. In the single-cave map I handled this by setting the upper passage off to the side. That does not come through to the group map. The two passages are drawn on top of each other. There is probably some magic I could do with select and map commands to make it happen. -- Bill Gee On Tuesday, October 29, 2019 5:14:00 PM CDT Scott Falkingham wrote:

Bill, have you try to define an overall map in the highest survey and select it in thconfig? Martin Odesláno z iPhonu 30. 10. 2019 v 0:14, Bill Gee <bgee@campercaver.net>:
