• 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.

Holes in polygons for vegetation cause agn drawing errors.

I created a vegetation dataset which has holes, and sometimes multiple holes in a feature (not holes within holes) and when I run it through SceneProc and look at the resulting vegetation, anywhere there is a hole in the feature SceneProc does some funky inversion or cutting of my shape.

Edit: DOH...I realized autogen polygons don't allow holes so this isn't SceneProc's fault.

Edit2: Using ArcGIS to slice the polygons to make "half-donuts" is fixing my problem.

Hi,

As you found out scenProc does not handle shapefiles with holes correctly. That's mainly because I did not test those I think :). The workaround you found sounds perfect, I am not sure if I can let the shapefile reader handle the holes correctly soon.
