Which file includes Arizona? I tried ASW first, then ASO. My
computer is far too slow to try them all. It also seems I don't
support clamped polygons.

My next guess was AWP but that produces a parse error at line 1127
column 103.

Andy, what version of GE are you using?

Regardless, I've removed the clampToGround altitude mode since that
should be the default for polygons in all versions, and refreshed the
files. Let me know if you have any more trouble.

The refreshed AWP file does not give me the parse error and displays
ok. The parse error was unique to that file and did not appear in the
pre-refresh ASW or ASO files. GE version is 4.2.0181.2634 beta. It
does not tell me an update is available and that is what usually
prompts me to do it. It may be that my computer dos not support the
newer version. I'll check later.

Andy,

Arizona is in the AWP (Western-Pacific) file. You just needed to try
one more!

If you GE doesn't support clamped polygons you should probably upgrade
your version. Mine is 4.7.3xxxx. (I haven't yet found a runway that
wasn't clamped to the ground.)
