the specified value.
• FILENAME_INCLUDE_ATTR_NAME - specifies that the attribute name specified in the
FILENAME_ATTR_LIST parameter should be included as part of the filename when using
SPLIT_BY_ATTR=YES to split your export into a separate file for each set of attributes.
• KML_AREA_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN (KML only) - specifies that area features with
associated elevation value should be displayed at height above the terrain surface in Google Earth.
Use KML_AREA_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN=YES to enable.
• KML_AREA_ELEVS_RELATIVE (KML only) - specifies that the elevation values associated with
3D area features are relative to the terrain surface rather than relative to sea level. Use
KML_AREA_ELEVS_RELATIVE=YES to enable.
• KML_AREA_EXTRUDE (KML only) - specifies that 3D area features displayed in Google Earth
should be extruded from the surface to create volumetric objects like buildings. Use
KML_AREA_EXTRUDE=YES to enable.
• KML_AREA_FAKE_HEIGHTS (KML only) - specifies that fake elevation values should be assigned
to area features exported to ensure that the draw order remains correct in Google Earth. This may be
necessary to keep overlapping area features drawing correctly. Use
KML_AREA_FAKE_HEIGHTS=YES to enable.
• KML_AREA_TRANSLUCENCY (KML only) - specifies how see-through filled area features will be
in the generated KML file. The values should range from 1 to 100 and represent a opacity percentage,
with 100 being completely opaque and 1 being almost completely transparent. The default value is
KML_AREA_TRANSLUCENCY=75.
• KML_FOLDER_ATTR (KML only) - specifies the name of a feature attribute to use for the folder
name in the generated KML file. By default, the export will check for a KML_FOLDER attribute
with the name of a folder to use.
• KML_HTML_DESC_TEXT (KML only) - specifies a HTML text string describing what to use for
the description for each feature exported to a KML file. To add a quote mark inside your description
text, use two single quotes ('') rather than a double quote ("), as the latter would terminate the
parameter value.
• KML_LINE_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN (KML only) - specifies that LINE features with
associated elevation value should be displayed at height above the terrain surface in Google Earth.
Use KML_LINE_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN=YES to enable.
• KML_LINE_ELEVS_RELATIVE (KML only) - specifies that the elevation values associated with
3D line features are relative to the terrain surface rather than relative to sea level. Use
KML_LINE_ELEVS_RELATIVE=YES to enable.
• KML_POINT_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN (KML only) - specifies that point features with
associated elevation value should be displayed at height above the terrain surface in Google Earth.
Use KML_POINT_DISPLAY_ABOVE_TERRAIN=YES to enable.
• KML_POINT_ELEVS_RELATIVE (KML only) - specifies that the elevation values associated with
3D Point features are relative to the terrain surface rather than relative to sea level. Use
KML_POINT_ELEVS_RELATIVE=YES to enable.
• KML_POINT_EXTRUDE (KML only) - specifies that 3D point features displayed in Google Earth
should be extruded from the surface by drawing a thin line from the surface to the point. Use
KML_POINT_EXTRUDE=YES to enable.
• GEN_MULTI_PATCH (SHAPEFILE only) - specifies that area features exported to a Shapefile
should be stored as multi-patch features rather than areas. Use GEN_MULTI_PATCH=YES to
enable.
• ADD_LAT_LON (CSV only) - specifies that lat/lon columns should be added to a CSV export. Use
ADD_LAT_LON=YES to enable.
• EXPORT_HEADER (CSV only) - specifies whether or not the header line for CSV files should be
written. Enabled by default, use EXPORT_HEADER=NO to disable.
