• 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.

Error when importing points file...

Just tried importing a shapefile containing only points for the first time using the IMPORTOGR step. Got the following error message:

"IMPORTOGR - Unsupported geometry type wkbMultiPoint"

scenPROC version is v1.0.0.0 r2873 (12/23/2014)
 
Hummm, that must be different points than I tested with. Can you send me a sample so I can add support for them?
 
Sure, here you go. A little test sample I created using QGIS. Just an FYI - In the file I created a feature type: 'type'. Usually I do not need to have to add a type if I create a poly or a line and they work in scenPROC for my purposes.

thx

Thanks, I'll have a look when I'm back home.
 
Looks like I discovered the issue. Appears to be me (of course), and not scenPROC. Looks like I had a corrupt .shp file. So nothing to look at here, people... move along :D
 
That error is not from a corrupt file. That specific type of point features is not supported at the moment. So I'll still have a look at it.
 
Here's a little update - the point feature works when I create a layer using QGIS. It appears when I make some edits to that file and then save it as another shape file scenPROC kicks it out with that error message. Hope that helps.
 
Hi,

I have fixed this warning now. Before I only processed wkbPoint features, because I didn't know what a MultiPoint really was. But with the sample file I was able to test it and I think it is importing the features fine. The new development release will be online in about 15 minutes.
