So you can get inside the model. Raising the altitude to view the cave is the only way I have found, semi-transparent ground would be nice. You can do that with SketchUp.

I've just recently been getting into applying scanned cave survey overlays onto Google Earth; I'd only started wondering yesterday about the (future) possibilities of adding 3D views of caves into GE to be able to move right around them alongside the terrain environment. Must petition Google to start supporting semi-transparent ground detail (and some way to avoid the "camera" clipping the ground so you can get underground to the cave) I don't suppose you'd have any examples of .KMZ files that I could check out, to see the results Hi Hubert,
