Problem

When I export my design files to Google Earth Pro (File>Export>Visualization File Types>Google Earth), extraneous placemarks are present in the outputted KML file as shown in this forum link:

https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/188478/google-earth-export---placemarks-appear-in-google-earth

Solution

In MicroStation CONNECT, navigate to Google Earth Settings (Drawing Workflow>Utilities tab>Geographic Ribbon Group>Google Earth Settings). Change the Format to "KML and Collada" and then try exporting the design file to Google Earth again.
