Elevation Banding export to Google Earth

I'm looking to export elevation banding for my volume surfaces to Google Earth.

 

I've tried extracting the elevations and then exporting those solids as a KML but the file has too many solids and is too large for Google Earth to handle. Blocking each surface doesn't work as well since Google Earth only applies one color to the entire blocked surface and I lose the banding.

 

Any solutions?

have you tried extracting and exporting one band of solids at a time? you will have multiple KMLs in this case.

You could also try merging the solids of the same colour together and then exporting the combined solids.

I've tried both solutions and the area I'm doing is simply too large. The KML files are 20mbs in size and it's very cumbersome and slow in Google Earth.

 

Is there anyway to just create an image from the solids?
