• 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.

What's wrong with this?

Code:
CREATEAGNPOLYVEG|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=E:\Landcover-for-PS\Decidious-Forest\SHP\landcover_1.SHP|{0a7dd9ef-9e7f-4140-9ae8-5d1d5047176b}

Thanks!

Hi,

Try the FROMFILE without the path, only with the filename.
 
No, I'm quite sure it only uses the filename. But do you need the FROMFILE in your filter? Often you can use other attributes to do the selection.
 
I need it since I am not able to make the "type=" work.

As you can see in the image attached, the TYPE was assigned to the polygons in Global Mapper.

it's really important for me to have the SHP files into separate dirs (they all have the same filename) so either I use the full path in the FROMFILE or use the TYPE argument.

thanks!

Anyway last night I was able to create vegetation from 6 different SHP files (6 types of areas for 6 types of vegetation) - See image attached

Hi,

I don't see a type attribute in the image, but there is one called LAYER. So did you try LAYER=Decidious-Forest in your filter. Beware the filter is case sensitive.
 
It's called Feature type. I have got a reply from Mike @ Global Mapper who confirmed the type decidious was assigned correctly to the type.

I tried LAYER=Decidious-Forest and it worked.
