Altitude of points from SBX polygons are lost in SBuilder

Post by JCRL » Fri May 06, 2011 7:33 pm

Hello guys

I was trying to make a polygon in SBuilderX with an altutide in each point of that polygon, but when exported as a .BLN and opened in SBuilder(FS9), I check the altitude of the points and the properties says "0" in the altitude field :?

Is there a way to import a SBuilderX polygon with the altitude data and use it in SBuilder(FS9)??

Thank you

Best Regards, Juan Rodriguez

Under SBuilderX menu Edit|Preferences, select the ini button in the popup. This should bring up the SBuilderX ini file in a text editor.

In the [BLN] section, BLNExportAltitudes=True ( the default is False, I believe ). Exit SBuilderX, restart, and you should be able to export polys with altitude.

Hi Dick

In the .ini file the BLNExportAltitudes is set to True, but when imported it in SBuilder (FS9 version) the altitude data is back to zero (0) :?:
