• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Custom Polyline Building?

Hi,
does anyone know how to add custom polyline buildings to the extrusion.xml to use them with different textures without overwriting the default ones? My attempt was to simply copy a polyline entry in that xml but it refers to two different GUIDS for MaterialSetReference and ExtrusionReference.

<PolylineBuildingProfile id="{f707c26e-32ed-4f15-85a2-81c5bc9f8b32}">
<FriendlyName>3 Story Flat Roof Mixed</FriendlyName>
<MaterialSetReference>{505D06AC-702C-4471-A3B9-D0B195994B43}</MaterialSetReference>
<ExtrusionReference>{FC900B40-273D-4F19-B552-14C0811AB9F0}</ExtrusionReference>

The SDK is not quite clear and looking into materials.xml shows this entry for the GUID above for MaterialSetReference:

</ReferenceEntry>
</RegionDescription>
</Regionalization>
<Regionalization id="{505d06ac-702c-4471-a3b9-d0b195994b43}">
<FriendlyName>Polyline Flat Mat Set Rgn</FriendlyName>
<RegionDescription>
<RegionId>-1</RegionId>
<ReferenceEntry>
<TargetGuid>{9E5C1410-09A6-46D2-A112-060009E799E0}</TargetGuid>

Which does not realy makes it easier.
So, maybe someone knows which files have to be altered to make a copy of a Polyline Building Profile, combine it wit a new MaterialSetReference GUID and which file to create or change to bring this MaterialSetReference alive?

Hi Thorsten,

I never did it for polygonal buildings, but you should indeed make a new entry for the texture you want in the materials file. Then let your new building refer to that.
