Export to KML

Parameter

Comments

Input features
<in_features>

Input feature layer that will be exported to KML/KMZ format.

Output file
<out_file>

Output .kml or .kmz file that the input layer will be exported to.

Labels
<label_by>

Select a way to label features:

• DONT_LABEL - features won't be labeled.

• LABEL_BY_FIELD - features will be labeled by selected field value.

• LABEL_BY_LAYER - features will be labeled using layer settings.

Label field
{label_field}

Specify a label field to be used for labeling.

Label points location
{label_points_location}

Specify location to store label points:

Select FILE to save label points in a separate KML file

Select FOLDER to save label points in a separate folder in the output KML file

Select FEATURE to merge labels points with the features in the output KML file

Folders
<class_by>

Select if you wish to create folders in the output KML file.

Class field
{class_field}

Select a field to create and classify folders by.

Extraction boundaries
<boundaries_type>

Select extraction boundaries to export only those features within the extraction boundaries.

Extraction boundaries
{extent}

Specify extent coordinates for extraction boundaries.

Selected features layer
{mask_layer}

Select a polygon layer with selected features for use as extraction boundaries.

Altitude
<altitude>

Select a source of altitude values:

• NO_ALTITUDE - altitude values won't be used for input features.

• Z_COORDINATE - altitude values will be used from Z coordinates (for 3D features only).

• FIELD - altitude values will be used from selected numeric attribute field.

• VALUE - specified value will be used as altitude for all input features.

Altitude field
{altitude_field}

Select a field with altitude values.

Altitude value
{altitude_value}

Specify value to be used as altitude.

Altitude mode
{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
{altitude_units}

Specify altitude units. Units can be METERS or FEET.

Extrude features
{extrude}

Select EXTRUDE to extrude features as solid 3D objects with sides connecting features with the Earth's surface.

Select DONT_EXTRUDE if not required.

Time
<time>

Select a source of time properties:

• NO_TIME - time properties won't be used in output KML file.

• ONE_TIME_FIELD - time values will be used from one selected date attribute field.

• TWO_TIME_FIELDS - start and end time values will be used from two date attribute fields.

• TIME_BY_LAYER - time properties specified for input layer will be used in output KML file. Please note that the time interval or time zone specified for the layer aren't taken into account.

Start time field
{start_field}

Select a field with start time values.

End time field
{end_field}

Select a field with end time values.

Raster format
{image_format}

Select output raster format, PNG or JPEG.
