Thanks Dick,I'm going to try the converter to see what it does.Below is the code, very similar to Chris'...include TDFHeaders.incinclude TDFMacros.incBGLHeader 20, 16,-64,-68, TerrainHeaderStart,

Guys,I ran the converter:chptconv -i pr2004v3bx_VTP.asm -o pr2004v3bc_VTP.asm -d 2 -l 4It put the VTPChildPoints but still no autogen.

Still no change after playing around with chptconv.Here's the last command I used:chptconv -i pr2004v3bx_VTP.asm -o pr2004v3bc_VTP.asm -d 2 -l 4 -m 3 -w 3

Hi Jay.As an experiment. alter your terrain.cfg file like this:

// utility lines[Autogen.0.0.0]AutoObject="054382ec5h,04a43b1bdh,05f4f1aaah,0c3569352h"ObjectSize=30ExclusionWidth=20ClipData=1Offset=0Density=100PlaceOnWater=0MinAutogenDensity=20

ObjectSize=30 is the change. The ObjectSize is the distance between objects in the vector. The default for the utility towers is 600 meters. Changing it to 30 meters should display on the childpoint lines. If the line segment points are spaced closer than 600 meters for the default setting, there may be a problem with the towers being displayed at 600.Dick

Success at last!Changed the ObjectSize to 30http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/89938.jpgI did two tests, one with the original code without the VTPChildPoint and one with it...got the same results. So, it appears that the problem was the ObjectSize from the begining. Such a simple fix... :-dohThanks Dick, Chris, Holger, et all!
