MapInfo Pro

Hi Thomas

Let me start by saying that I'm no expert on Google Earth :-)

I had a table in MapInfo Pro with Z values on the nodes. I exported this to KML using the Export option on the Table tab.

When I open the file in a text editor, I can see the Z values in the Polygon data:

  <Placemark>	<name></name>	<Style><LineStyle><color>FFff7530</color><width>2</width></LineStyle><PolyStyle><fill>0</fill></PolyStyle></Style>	<ExtendedData><SchemaData schemaUrl="#Altitude_Zone">		<SimpleData name="RunwayNo"></SimpleData>	</SchemaData></ExtendedData>      <Polygon><outerBoundaryIs><LinearRing><coordinates>12.8273952471316,55.7032444380488,1500 12.769218691258,55.7321461920894,1500 12.6653056255676,55.6402968573458,600 12.6796292646647,55.6331929602335,600 12.8273952471316,55.7032444380488,1500</coordinates></LinearRing></outerBoundaryIs></Polygon>  </Placemark>

But when I import the KML into Google Earth, the Z values seem to get ignored.

Good morning,I'm trying to import a 3D mapinfo table into Google Earth but without success..

my white trapeze is a 3D table which emerges in 2D. I don't know how to implement Z's in Google Earth... Thank you for your help

here is a kmz in 3D...

here are 2 KMZ in 3D in the zip file

by opening a kmz with a text editor, we find the coordinates x, y and z... The KMZ format is specific...

Hi Thomas

When I look at the sample you send and the KML created by MapInfo Pro, I can see your sample has a few more properties for the polygon.

Mine looks like this:

<Polygon>  <outerBoundaryIs>    <LinearRing>      <coordinates>        12.4477323673668,55.5160486243299,150.0 12.5058496336289,55.4873070487818,150.0 12.6089400193284,55.5793168302335,60.0 12.5946196969266,55.5864107023999,60.0 12.4477323673668,55.5160486243299,150.0      </coordinates>    </LinearRing>  </outerBoundaryIs></Polygon>

But if I modify the KML file slight and add the missing parameters to make it look like this:

<Polygon>  <tessellate>1</tessellate>  <altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>  <outerBoundaryIs>    <LinearRing>      <coordinates>        12.4477323673668,55.5160486243299,150.0 12.5058496336289,55.4873070487818,150.0 12.6089400193284,55.5793168302335,60.0 12.5946196969266,55.5864107023999,60.0 12.4477323673668,55.5160486243299,150.0      </coordinates>    </LinearRing>  </outerBoundaryIs></Polygon>

Adding these two parameters:

  <tessellate>1</tessellate>
  <altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>

The polygons now appear as 3D objects in Google Earth.
