 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</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Export problem to Google Earth</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769570?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jun 2023 10:34:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4c5084cc-9646-4779-be97-0eb5dc93552a</guid><dc:creator>Oto</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Also&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;KML that has lines and setting&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code class="notranslate"&gt;clampToGround: true&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;will not clamp the line unless you have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code class="notranslate"&gt;&amp;lt;tesselate&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/tesselate&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt;set inside KML file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code class="notranslate"&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Export problem to Google Earth</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769525?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jun 2023 05:48:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ec5e879c-b619-4a3a-8311-ecbee3e782be</guid><dc:creator>&amp;#246;zg&amp;#252;r doğan</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Maria,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your suggestion fixed the problem. Now I can see all elements in my drawing in Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Export problem to Google Earth</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769442?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2023 15:16:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:554b28d6-3e81-42eb-98c4-f484303b66f5</guid><dc:creator>Maria Garcia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;ouml;zg&amp;uuml;r doğan,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Why are you flattening the geometry of the elements&amp;nbsp;if you are still on a 3D file?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please test your results&amp;nbsp; by changing&amp;nbsp; Altitude mode to Flatten to ground as Ron&amp;#39;s suggested in your original 3D file&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see the Altitude mode is set in your screen shot as Relative to ground.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this still does not work for you, please provide the file (dgn and KML file) for&amp;nbsp; testing purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flatten To Ground &amp;mdash; All altitude values are interpreted as being at ground level.&amp;nbsp;This setting is useful for any data that is truly 2D. For 3D geometry this has the effect of flattening the geometry.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Maria,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see above I have only shape geometry in Google Earth . Other geometric elements are not visible in Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Export problem to Google Earth</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769405?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:11:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3faeaf1f-5285-4e42-9693-ddb9e40e4d62</guid><dc:creator>Jon Summers</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="1449650" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/246427/export-problem-to-google-earth/769388"]you mean that is the reason using an old verision of microstation?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Possibly.&amp;nbsp; You need a response from someone who is familiar with MicroStation V8&lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt; SS1 and also with exporting to Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of MicroStation adds new features and updates, sometimes, existing features.&amp;nbsp; How support for KML export has improved, or not, over the years requires specialist knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Export problem to Google Earth</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769404?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:00:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ce0cf815-80b0-42f7-abbd-df3c4fcbf5e8</guid><dc:creator>Maria Garcia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi &amp;ouml;zg&amp;uuml;r doğan,&lt;/p&gt;
