[Therion] KML Issues

[Bruce]

Thanks for the feedback Nick.

I'll endeavor to update the wiki kml entry, as your comments would make it
clearer.

Remind me in a few weeks if I haven't got around to it.

Bruce

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.

 

Nick.

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
