Hi,

great work! You can use latest GRASS 6.1 to work
with 3D vector data, see
http://grass.itc.it/grass61/screenshots/vector.php

If you dislike the GRASS viewer NVIZ, just export
to VTK format and use ParaView or other VTK viewers.

Thanks Carl!
As you can see in my XSL stylesheet harmonization of KML and GML shouldn’t be too difficult, even though this is a very basic example. It would be great to see some GML compatible Google products.

Christian -

Nice tool. I just passed this information onto the GML Working Group in the OGC. Now that Google is a member of the OGC, we may be able to work any “harmonization” issues related to the use of KML and GML.

You’re welcome!
With your script the whole process is still more convenient and straightforward. Thanks for pointing out the lack of 3D support in Quantum GIS!

Nice work! This is a superbly useful tool since so many folks are publishing their data straight to KML. It’s nice to know that all that info won’t be locked into one application!

Your comment about ogr2ogr got me thinking about ways to automate the kml->shapefile process and I came up with a little script that seems to work: http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=3. I’ve tried it on a few kml files and your stylesheet has worked each time. Thanks a million!

Thanks a million for this one…

[...] Link – Styling KML to GML So I extended my begun KML to CSV XSL stylesheet to take over Google Earth KMLs in a more convenient way. With the help of this XSL stylesheet you can transform a KML to a GML file. [...]
