Reposition of Building

Featured Replies

Hi,I would like to reposition a building, I have a bgl file, a XML, and of course a BMP file. I want to reposition the building now in FSX. What file have I to change and what extension has it and what program do I need to edit it? Or can I add a new file to position it in the FSX into the Addon-Scenery?Thanks in advantage.

If you have the correct xml file you should be able to simply edit the coordinate of the building using Notepad to open the xml file.It would then be compiled by using the free BGLComp utility.Likely you would also need to use an exclude to exclude the original building.It would be a great help if you would provide more details regarding just what bgl and xml file you say you have. Where did you get them and are they for the one building in question only?

Hello Alex,This can be a simple operation with the right tool. If you use SBuilderX, then:1. simply append either the bgl or the xml file (either one) in order to get all the objects2. You can also display a background of aerial images from any of the popular web servers (Google, etc.)3. Select the exclusion tool and drag a rectangle around the object to be removed4. Choose the type of exclusion desired5. Then, move the object to the desired location6. Then, just compile to get new object and exclusion bgls.Best regards.Luis

One question, is the height of the building automaticilly set or have I to do this?Best RegardsAlexK

Hello Alex,Generally, objects are set on the ground, that is, at 0 feet AGL. So, you should not have to worry about this. However, many people report that generic buildings seem to float a little above the ground and this may happen to you. Only solution that I know of is to not look! :( Just kidding.Best regards.Luis
