• 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.

Processing several SHP files at one time...

Working my way through the forums and videos on this but this may save me some time:

1. Can I load more than one SHP file (of the same type) into scenPROC and process them at the same time? For example, several building shape files at one time?

2. If yes, can I process each one differently, say one SHP file is for residential housing and the second as Industrial? Maybe using different attributes per file?

3. If one poly overlaps another poly... what happens? Does one get priority? Or do they delete each other out? Do I have any control over that?

Thanks in advance,

Clutch
 
you can list as many .shp sources you wish

IMPORTOGR|C:\DATA\1.shp|*|*|NOREPROJ
IMPORTOGR|C:\DATA\2.shp|*|*|NOREPROJ

to the best of my knowledge you cannot read a specific feature from a specific source
unless you run a single source; scenProc will use data from each file the feature exists in
from your loaded sources statement

Click to expand...

right now they overlap if you don't filter duplicates

Hi,

1. Yes, that's possible. Just use multiple lines to load them all.

2. That depends on the filter you use. You can use the FROMFILE attribute to filter on the filename the feature was read from. So that way you can process features from different files differently.

3. At the moment nothing happens with overlapping features. You would just get overlapping autogen objects as well. There is a thread about a feature request to filter out overlapping features.
