IMPORTANT ! Doesn't supports specific image formats such as GeoTIFF and etc. yet
- Raster rotation support is added
- Import from KML command supports GE GroundOverlays now (New raster datasets (layers) are added to project. Rasters are transformed in according to GroundOverlays 'LatLonBox' and 'Rotation' tags)
- <TimeStamp> & <TimeSpan> support for vectors and overlays.

Quick frame export



Convert all layers (vectors, rasters, TINs) of current frame into Google Earth *.kml or *.kmz files with same styles. You can output visible layers only and use Markers and Labels scale factor.

Export to KML



Convert vector layers into Google Earth *.kml or *.kmz files.
Symbol style (fill color,outline color, outline width e.t.g.) of the selected layer is stored to created KML. In case you use the categories legend (unique values, graduated colors) corresponding style is applied to each object.
Note: KMLer works with current selected layer. If more than one layer is selected, it works with the first selected layer.

Google Earth file path set path, name and type (kml or kmz) of output file.
Option Convert each object as a placemark. Enable only for line and polygon geometries. If this option is checked, Placemark is created for each geometry object, otherwise the multigeometry placemark is created. All visible fields are added to baloon. All data are adapted for the use into GE Plus and Pro. Its support "Apply Style Template...". For lines and polygons additional label placemarks are created automatically.
Option Distribute features using a categories legend. Enable, if the selected layer has a class legend (unique value renderer or class break renderer). If this option is checked, placemarks are distributed to folders, according to current class legend with same style.

From Label field, containing list of visible fields, you select placemark labels.

Group Add to description. Adds additional parameters to each placemark baloon.
Option Search link. Adds Google Search link to a placemark baloon.
Option Maps link. Adds Google Maps link to a placemark baloon.
Option Feature class metadata. Enable only for imported from Google Earth feature class. Adds string to description from metadata.

Extrude options contain altitude mode list and define how Z values will be set.

Attribute field select from numeric visible data fields.

Option Open in Google Earth. Automatically opens data in Google Earth and zooms to it.

Import from KML



Convert data from Google Earth vector files to ArcMap layers. Supports multiply import of *.kml and *.kmz files to *.shp files or geodatabase. Creates a feature class for each found schema and geometry type. Adds all attributes to new created feature class. All data from baloon stored as additional tag of metadata. Stores last output location.

Create overlays



Create overlays from checked rasters. You can stored rasters into KMZ or make absolute path.

Export screen Saves current screen of ArcMap data view as overlay with coordinates. Opens overlay in Google Earth.

Import screen Import current Google Earth screen shots as grayscale raster. The envelope of a new raster is stored to current ArcMap project as graphics.

Navigation
Set view in GE Zooms Google Earth to current ArcMap view. Free function.
Get view from GE Zooms ArcMap to current Google Earth view. Free function.

Z level. Get matrix of points from terrain.
Creates vector grid of 3d points from current view of Google Earth. Z values calculates from terrain data of current view.

Z-service. Return Z values for current feature class from GE Terrain. User can set a percent of loading and altitude's range ("Eye altitude") of a view.
Flash presentation

Shooting on route.
Screens. Import of rasters (GE screenshots) along a route.
Terrain points. Get matrix of the 3d points from terrain along a route.

awesome~~

WOW!

That is what the doctor has ordered!

Jolly good software


Well Done, Valeriy

Home FAQ page
http://www.mi-perm.ru/gis/programs/common/faq.html

Requirements:
- Google Earth
- Microsoft .Net FrameWork v.1.1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en
- ArcGis v.9x with .NET support http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=homepage.homepage
For installation ArcGis 9.0 with SP3 or later is required

Deployment of the application.
The program has standard procedure of installation for exterior extensions of the ArcGIS9x + .NET - you should start the kmler.msi file. If not it is stipulated especially, the same file of the subsequent versions is renewal.

The program becomes active in a condition of the 7-day's version. When time of use is expired it is necessary to receive and enter an individual registration code.

Problems and errors.
Q: Program is not install. I see error "Unable to get installer types in the c:\program files\...\...\*.dll assembly.---> One or more of the types in the assembly unable to load". What do you suggest? http://img320.imageshack.us/img320/4692/dotneterror1al.gif
A: It means that .NET support is not installed. See support page
http://www.mi-perm.ru/gis/programs/common/faq.html

1) Install Microsoft Framework 1.1.
2) Display the Add or Remove Programs dialog from the Windows Control Panel (see How to Uninstall above for details),
3) Select ArcGIS Desktop from the list of installed programs
4) Click the Change button to launch the installer. (at this point you may be asked for the source media or access to a network folder that was used to install ArcGIS Desktop)
5) Select Modify and then click Next >. The following dialog will appear listing all the current installed components of ArcGIS 9.
6) Click on .NET Support and select "Will be installed on local hard"
7) Click Next>
8) At the confirmation prompt click Next > again.
9) As the new files are installed the following progress dialog will appear. If necessary, the installation can be cancelled by clicking the Cancel button, but this is strongly not recommended.
10) Finally click Finish from the installation wizard

Notes:
1. Restrictions on feature class names and field names in geodatabases.
As against shapefile, feature class name and field names in geodatabase must not start with digit, a space and "_" character. Also they must not contain punctuation marks, brackets, quotes and * $ % * + - = / \ | characters.
2. For *.shp files ArcGIS doesn't support field names with length more than 10 characters.

Good Job.

However, you can get some free tools for ArcGIS without cost:
KML convertesr from ESRI ArcScrpts

My prefered tool is "Export to KML"

- Extended set ArcMap legend styles into KML.
- Extended Z-service. Now it set z-values from GE Terrain also for lines and polygons classes.

New features.
- Shooting on route screens.
- Shooting on route terrain points.

Import of Google Earth terrain and images dats along a route into ArcMap.


Screens along a route (river) in ArcMap.


Place screen and terrain (z) data into each screen of ArcMap.

Remove bug with names by "Import".
New example. Countries as Polygons. Export to KMZ.

Global Fire Maps 24 Hours. Export screen.

Update KMLer home page

Export & import of ArcMap & GE feature classes


This tools supply of two-directional vectors data exchange.


Export & import of current ArcMap & GE screens


This tools supply GE by all current and future web services, who support by ArcMap. All results store into images overlay.
