KML nested donut not rendering correctly in Google Earth

Hi all,

Using FME(R) 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) and tested in 2024 also.

When I write a KML that includes multipolygons (aka nested donuts, aka inner rings) the records display correctly in FME Inspector (correct outline and fill) but when opened in Google Earth the fill is missing for records that have polygons within polygons (ie a donut hole has polygons within it). Simple polygons and simple donuts have correct fill.

I’ve tried reversing the orientation with Orientor.

Also tried playing around with the DonutHoleExtractor without luck.

Any good ideas for a fix?

Hi all,

It turns out that only the desktop app has the display issue. If I open the same data via a browser version of Google Earth all data is displayed correctly.
