So you want the extractor to be able process an input BGL files that contains QMID levels other that 11 or 15 ? Correct ?
The XML file produced by the extractor tool would still have "<Geometry clipLevel="11"></Geometry> " but you can manually edit it if needed. Still correct ?
Hi Dick:
Perhaps you might further elaborate on how to process the XML output file to modify it for use with making FS2004 vector content ?

EDITED]
Following the above ideas, might it work successfully if one were to:
1.) Edit the clip level in a
XML file otherwise exported by CVXExtractor, for example:
<Vectors>
<VectorType name="GPSHydroPolygons">
<Vector FileOffsetHex="80">
<QMID u="240" v="241" l="
11" />
<Shapes>
<Shape Index="0" DrawType="Polygon" FileOffsetHex="8E">
<Points>
<Point Longitude="-123.539593219757" Latitude="47.4609375" Altitude="-9999.0" />
<Point Longitude="-123.541867733002" Latitude="47.4612432718277" Altitude="-9999.0" />
<Point Longitude="-123.542268276215" Latitude="47.4609375" Altitude="-9999.0" />
<Point Longitude="-123.539593219757" Latitude="47.4609375" Altitude="-9999.0" />
</Points>
</Shape>
</Shapes>
</Vector>
2.) Set
l=15 (...assuming " l " actually represents the intended clip level as a QMID ...not LOD)
3.) Re-compile edited
XML to
SHP via appropriate compiler (
using required associated files)
4.) Input the
SHP to CVXExtractor
5.) Use CVXExtractor to output a
ex:
BLN file
6.) Append the
BLN file to SBuilder
7.) Compile to FS2004-format vector
BGL ...via appropriate FS9 SDK compiler

Some of us here would be very grateful for any additional info you might share on how to do what you described above with the XML file.
Thanks,
