Hi everyone,
Google earth shows only shapes object. Other geometric objects are not visible.
I created a KML file using related tools in Microstation. However, when I open the KML file on Google Earth, almost none of the geometric elements in my drawing are visible.Only shapes are visible. what can be the problem?
I am using MicroStation V8i (select series 1) - VErsion 08.11.07.180 windows x86 and I am not using any additional product.
Thanks,

That's a rather old (2009) version of MicroStation — see the History of MicroStation.

you mean that is the reason using an old verision of microstation?
Hi özgür doğan,
Could you please provide a screen shot showing the display in MicroStation Connect edition and results in Google Earth ?
also what google earth settings did you use?

Possibly. You need a response from someone who is familiar with MicroStation V8i SS1 and also with exporting to Google Earth.
Each version of MicroStation adds new features and updates, sometimes, existing features. How support for KML export has improved, or not, over the years requires specialist knowledge.
Dear Maria,
As you can see above I have only shape geometry in Google Earth . Other geometric elements are not visible in Google Earth.
Try using the Flatten To Ground setting.
Right. But I already made flatten all geometric elemetns befor exporting :))
Thanks Ron,
Why are you flattening the geometry of the elements if you are still on a 3D file?
Please test your results by changing Altitude mode to Flatten to ground as Ron's suggested in your original 3D file
I see the Altitude mode is set in your screen shot as Relative to ground.
If this still does not work for you, please provide the file (dgn and KML file) for testing purposes.

Thanks Maria,
Your suggestion fixed the problem. Now I can see all elements in my drawing in Google Earth.
Best Regards.
Also KML that has lines and setting clampToGround: true will not clamp the line unless you have <tesselate>1</tesselate> set inside KML file.
clampToGround: true
<tesselate>1</tesselate>
