This file has Z-coordinates.  In googleearth it's still treated as 
flat.  I was hoping that I'd get something rendered in 3D but underneath 
the terrain, which I could see above the flat terrain if I turned the 3D 
terrain off.  This doesn't happen.  Has this been investigated? 


Getting our 3D surveys rendered into the googleearth seamlessly (so we 
can throw away all our current viewers with their funny controls and 
ridiculous content-starved binary 3D formats) is something worth 
aspiring to.  However, the land will tend to obscure the caves. 


If anyone gets a 3D model that behaves as expected, then someone can 
contact google to see if they've thought of this challenge.  Maybe it's 
an issue waiting on some examples from one of us before they can work 
with it. 


BTW, it's lovely work so far.
