Is there a simple way of generating KML files which specifically excludes the pins for entrances etc? I just want the centrelines.

I know that I can do this by commenting out all the relevant lines, but that's a bit of a pain when your dataset has many dozens of these and you have to go back in and replace them when producing 3d or other outputs.

I'm not sure if you're asking about Survex or Therion since you
cross-posted to both lists without saying which you're asking about.

(I'd generally ask people not to cross-post like this.  Most mailing
lists these days are limited to posting by subscribers, so if someone
subscribed to only one list replies to both their reply will be held for
moderation by the other list, which creates extra work for the list
admins).

In aven, just make sure the "entrances" checkbox in the export dialog
isn't ticked, and you won't get pins for entrances.

In survexport, don't pass the `--entrances` command line option.

Hi Olly

Apologies for the cross-posting, that was a mistake on my part. I've always generated kml from Therion using a command in thconfig. I did not realise that you could export them from Aven. That has, however, answered my question. It does look like I'll have to tweak my data as the export isn't bringing everything across properly. So I'll keep playing.

Thanks
Graham
