Open the file in your favorite text editor (I use Atom).Save the file somewhere you can find it.Make sure to change the file type to KML (by default it will be KMZ).Right-click on the line and select ‘Save Places As’.Find the line in the left panel Places pane (it will be called ‘Line Measure’ unless you changed the name).Create a line between two points like in the section above.Unfortunately there’s not a way in the Google Earth interface to configure different heights on either end of the line, but there is a workaround: Sometimes you need to check the line of sight between two buildings that have very different heights. Notice it’s going right through a large tree - no line of sight this time! Set the Altitude to the height of the structures in meters (are the structures significantly different heights? See Lines with different heights below.).Change ‘Clamped to Ground’ to ‘Relative to Ground’.Go to the ‘Altitude’ tab on the line properties.This will give you a line between the two points. The ruler tool will show you the distance and the azimuth between the two points.Use the ruler tool to measure the distance between the two points.You can use the measure distance tool and the line draw tool to check line of sight between 2 points on Google Earth. To do that you’ll use a Batch Geocoding service. Sometimes you have a list of addresses you’d like to get imported as placemarks to view on Google Earth. Starting in late April 2022, we're live streaming the process of planning and building an ISP.
