Did you say Frankfurt? :) Julien is working on a program called svg2ac. The other day, we did an experiment generating the Frankfurt airport out of an FAA's airport diagram using this program. http://flamebunny.homelinux.net/pics/EDDF.jpg As you can see, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out, and Julien could use some help in this area. But once everything works properly, buildings' size and placement would be accurate down to the meter. This should cut down your work considerably, I would imagine. ;) Ampere ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
