[Contextcapture] KML relative to ground

Still it would be great if KML which is clamped/relative to ground could be produced as only in GE Pro the Terrain can be switched off. Google has not only geoid but also a low accuracy SRTM terrain model. We have a terrain height 11m in GE where it is 4m actual. If terrain is switched off then absolute height is 0m and model will fly above earth.

Hi,

The heights in Google Earth refer to EGM96 and are, therefore, Geoidal heights. Your model probably uses vertical datum.

You can override the vertical datum of a production in ContextCapture, here is a screen capture that illustrates how to do it:

HTH,
