Exporting Vectors to Google Earth 7.0

I am trying to export view sheds in vector format to GE. It appears the vector boundaries are not always closed. As a result GE doesn't color them in completely and they get a streaky look and/or have large portions uncolored.
Below is an example of a streaky view shed in GE and below that is a view shed that came in cleanly. FWIW the view sheds overlap. Any suggestions on how to get the view sheds to come through cleanly each time?

There are some limits in how complex of an area that Google Earth can display in terms of vertices. If you load the KML file back into Global Mapper does it look ok? I may updated the KML/KMZ export to chop up complex areas automatically.

Yes, the KML looks good when I open it with Global Mapper.

I have updated the KML/KMZ export to automatically chop up areas with more than about 1000 vertices so that all pieces are less than that. Hopefully that will make them all render properly in Google Earth on your machine (the actual limit in Google Earth varies from machine to machine and really Google Earth should do the chopping, but they don't yet). I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v14.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v14 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14_64bit.zip .
Thanks,
