[Therion] Problem with kml-File for google Earth

[Markus Boldt]

Hi Andrew, 
thank you very much for that ideas! 
As I have looked to the *.th2 File of that part from the cave I found a line
which should be an arrow-line but it was a wall-line. That was the error.
Now it works well. But why was there no error in the PDF-File? There all
looks properly, of course the arrow was not present. 
Best Regards 
Markus

I have had this problem before. I gave up using kml about a year ago as 
they seem to be far fussier than the pdf and lox, so I now grab the sat 
images and use them. I would guess that the missing parts are were 
therion has got the inside and outside confused.

GMapCatcher works well for getting images, but you are breaking the T+Cs 
and copyright.

Generally I found it came from having the walls the wrong way round, 
tick should be on the air side. Also pillars (when in a single scrap, I 
believe) need to have -outline in option set.

However, this is/was not always the case, the error of scraps 
overlapping themselves was a good indication of other places it went 
wrong, but these are often very difficult to solve, I still have many in 
my data sets.
