     Bentley Architecture                                                    
   With Google Earth, the AEC projects that you design, document, and        
   maintain, with MicroStation now can be visualized “in situ”. Google       
   Earth gives you an aerial view of geometry and geography, but it is       
   not intended to be a detailed CAD viewer. Its greatest value is in        
   providing a rich, accurate and intuitive backdrop for your AEC projects.  
   While Google Earth is designed and optimized for spatially large          
   designs, it is not intended for visualizing geometric detail.             
   Including excessive detail will quickly exceed the current capacity of    
   Google Earth. For this reason it is important to carefully select and     
   export only the geometry that is both visible and valuable to Google      
   Earth.                                                                    
   MicroStation provides data to Google Earth as KML documents, an XML       
   based data structure for creating and sharing geographic data.            
   MicroStation geometry exported to KML retains the Reference File and      
   Level (layer) structure defined in the model. This lets you               
   selectively control the display of individual levels or reference         
   files within Google Earth. Saved views also are saved to KML so that      
   they can be used to navigate to views of interest in Google Earth.        
   Currently, KML contains no provision for specifying data such as          
   material properties or texture maps.
