Has this been investigated?
Yes. Google Earth is able to render also absolute Z coordinate (just one flag can be added to the coord spec), but then you are not able to see caves, when terrain is turned on. > 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. All we need is "terrain transparency" slider in Google Earth :) S.
