Export to KML - Model not visible on Google Earth


Julia79

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to see a 3D model on Google Earth Pro, I do export to KML give the coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) and when I open it on Google Earth Pro it doesn't show anything.

If on Google Earth I right-click the model and add a Placemark on it, I can see the pin, can see is on the right position and I play with the altitude to make sure it's not under the ground, and the only thing I can see is the pin but not the model at all, nothing of it.

 

Any idea what I can change on the model to make it visible on Google Earth?

 

Thanks in advance

Did you ever figure out how to do it.   I have been trying to do the same.

This may only partly answer tour question but:

 

get a .kml you know that works, and a VW generated one and open them as text in a text editor and see if the VW one looks very different - that may tell you what is wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion, if I have a moment I may try that.  My current solution is to export as 3DS and import to Sketchup then follow the Sketchup way and finally export as kmz.  That works.
