Export to KML Multiple
Exports one or several feature layers and their attributes from ArcGIS to KML/KMZ format for use with Google Earth, Google Maps and other applications and services supporting KML format.
Parameter |
Comments |
Input features |
Input feature layers that will be exported to KML/KMZ format. |
Output file |
Output .kml or .kmz file that the input layers will be exported to. |
Labels |
Select a way to label features: DONT_LABEL - features won't be labeled. LABEL_BY_LAYER - features will be labeled using layer settings. LABEL_BY_FIELD - features will be labeled by selected field value (available for single input layer only). |
Label field |
Specify a label field to be used for labeling (available for single input layer only). |
Label points
location |
Specify location to store label points (available for input layers contained polyline or polygon features): FILE - label points will be saved in a separate KML file. FOLDER - label points will be saved in a separate folder in the output KML file. FEATURE - labels points will be merged with the features in the output KML file. |
Folders |
Select if you wish to create folders in the output KML file (available for single input layer only): DONT_CREATE_FOLDERS - folders won't be created. BY_FIELD - folders will be created by selected field value. With several input layers, separate folder will be created for each of input layer by default. |
Class field |
Select a field to create and classify folders by (available for single input layer only). |
Extraction
boundaries |
Select extraction boundaries to export only those features within the extraction boundaries: NO_BOUNDARIES - input features will be exported "as is". EXTENT - input features will be exported within extent selected. SELECTED_FEATURES - input features will be exported within polygon layer selected. |
Extraction
boundaries |
Specify extent coordinates for extraction boundaries. |
Selected features
layer |
Select a polygon layer with selected features for use as extraction boundaries. |
Extrusion |
Select a way to extrude input features by: DONT_EXTRUDE - input features won't be extruded. VALUE - input features will be extruded by specified value. FIELD - input features will be extruded by specified field value (available for single input layer only). |
Extrude field
name |
Select a field to extrude output features by (available for single input layer only). |
Extrude value |
Specify extrusion value. |
Altitude mode |
Specify altitude mode. Altitude mode can be used as Absolute, set as Relative to Ground or Clamped to Ground: CLAMPED_TO_GROUND: - This is the default altitude mode for elements when not otherwise specified and when no altitude is provided in the tag. RELATIVE_TO_GROUND: - Sets the altitude of the element relative to the actual ground elevation of a particular location. If the ground elevation of a location is exactly at sea level, and the altitude for a point is set to 9 meters, then the placemark elevation is 9 meters with this mode. However, if the same placemark is set over a location where the ground elevation is 10 meters above sea level, the elevation of the placemark is then 19 meters. ABSOLUTE: - Sets the altitude of the element exactly above sea level, regardless of the actual elevation of the terrain beneath the element. For example, if you set the altitude of a placemark to 10 meters with an absolute altitude mode, the placemark will appear to be at ground level if the terrain beneath is also 10 meters above sea level. If the terrain is 5 meters above sea level, the placemark will appear elevated above the terrain by 5 meters. |
Altitude units |
Specify altitude units. Units can be meters or feet. |
3D view |
Select this option to use 3D view. |
Raster format |
Select output raster format, PNG or JPEG. |
