• 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.

it would be very useful that created points inherit parent's attributes from polygon please ;)
and add attribute FTYPE="Point" to this new points.

Hi,

I believe this feature is on the wishlist already. I'll try to implement it soon.

The FTYPE attribute is automatic, but its value is POINT not Point.
 
Hi,

I have added this option now. For these 4 steps there is now an option named INHERITPARENTATTR that will copy them over: PlacePointAtCenterPolygon, PlacePointsAlongLine, PlacePointsInPolygon and PlacePointsOnLineVertices.

I noticed that the PlacePointsInPolygon step already copy the attributes, so that has changed now to only happen when the option is there.

I'll push the new build later today.
 
So to understand, this option will create a point .shp at the center for each polygon found? I can export these as .shps if I wish?
 
Hi,

Yes, check the manual :). A new point feature is created at the center of each polygon that matches the filter. You can then export these features to any of the supported file formats, including shp.
 
If you wait long I might have a v3 already :)
