I think I once succeeded in opening the polygon file in Google Earth, but subsequently have been unable to, so I may be mistaken. I can't tell whether the polygon file just takes inordinately long to open, or whether there is something wrong with it.<br><br>I can add both files to QGIS as vector layers, but no lines or polygons are visible. When I open the properties dialogues for each, the style and labels tabs are blank. If I try to save the layer as a shapefile, I get the error:<br><br><blockquote>Export to vector file failed.<br>Error: creation of layer failed (OGR error:Geometry type of `3D Geometry Collection' not supported in shapefiles.<br>Type can be overridden with a layer creation option<br>of SHPT=POINT/ARC/POLYGON/MULTIPOINT/POINTZ/ARCZ/POLYGONZ/MULTIPOINTZ.)<br></blockquote><br>If I try to save the layer as a shape file using that layer creation option, it fails with the error:<br><br><blockquote>Export to vector file failed.<br>Error: creation of layer failed (OGR error:Unknown SHPT value of `POINT/ARC/POLYGON/MULTIPOINT/POINTZ/ARCZ/POLYGONZ/MULTIPOINTZ' passed to Shapefile layer creation. Creation aborted.)<br></blockquote><br>Can anyone suggest how I can open these files in QGIS? I have successfully opened other KML files as layers in QGIS, so I think the problem is with these specific files, not QGIS's ability to handle KML files.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Terry Morse<br>tmorse@teleport.com</div></div></body></html>
