Aven generated KML visualization/altitude doubts

Hi,


I'm just exporting from Aven to KML for the first time.

My first try didn't show anything on Google Earth. As I suspected, it was because my cave, being underground, was below the terrain so Google Earth hided my cave under the terrain.

To be able to see my cave line in Google Earth I manually edited the Aven generated KML file changing all occurences of

<altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>

to

<altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode>

It worked but it is a clumky solution.

How do you view an Aven generated KML file in Google Earth?


Regards,

Rodrigo Severo
