Hi Michael Unless Stacho's magic fixes your problem, I would expect that it is most likely that the yellow tick marks do not point inside of the passages in all cases, or -outline in/out is not set correctly. Your example image is exactly the sort of thing that first time kml users produce. It is very common. There should not be any problem with many short wall lines, except that with many, there is more opportunity to get a yellow tick or -outline wrong.
A couple of months ago I encountered a case where ends of two adjacent scraps were one above the other, and one of them was well rendered, and the other as in your example. Turned out that both scraps were drawn correctly and simply moving one of the end lines a bit fixed the problem. Have never encountered that before as far as I know, and I would expect that this is unlikely to be your problem. Have a look at https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/tips#avoiding_invisible_or_misshapen_scraps_i n_loch_and_google_earth It is a bit outdated now, as I think the behaviours are different now, but it gives you an idea of what to look out for. When troubleshooting this sort of thing, also produce pdf outputs with a passage foreground colour. This can point to problems with gaps between scraps and incorrect yellow ticks (interior of passage), but will not identify -outline errors (because the pdf generator seems to reliably know better than the user!)

Producing PDF output works well, but when producing kml using export map -projection plan -output Scraps.kml I get large white blobs where there should be transparency. See attachment. First assumption was that Therion needs some help by marking certain walls "outline in". But that didn't help. Then I tried redrawing the walls of the affected passages to get long lines of walls rather than concatenated short sections of walls, assuming that would help Therion to better understand. Didn't help. Anyone had this problem so far? If there is a way to post-process the kml file to remove the white areas, that would also help. Or any other hint to systematically track this down.
