How can I export to a KML format?

Users may have a need to export data from Intterra for use in an app or device that requires a KML format.  
The Layer Export Tool does not support export to KML directly, but there are a couple simple options.
First, use the Layer Export Tool to export to a shape file format.  
Next, convert the file to KML. 
  • Google Earth Pro will import shape files (unzipped).  The files can viewed and then saved as KML. 
  • There are several web services.  https://mygeodata.cloud/converter/shp-to-kml is one that works well and will accept zipped files directly from the export tool.
  • ESRI applications will using the exports shape or gdb will export shape files to KML. 
Note: Controlling symbology is very limited with KML format using the first two options.
