• 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.

How to bring back TIN buildings over Terraform polygons ?

Hello !
Encircled as red line shown in the screenshot below, the airport has several terraform polygons that also exclude the TIN buildings and bring the autogenerated buildings instead.
Is there any way to bring back those TIN buildings over such terraform areas without breaking their terraform function?
Thanks

Yeah, I know what both TIN and photogrammetry stand for.
Much as it is mentioned otherwise in the SDK doc, Force Buildings on TIN actually works the other way around, as in the example link you've shared, the OP actually tries to keep TIN buildings, but this polygon resulted in the autogenerated buildings to appear instead, with Exclude TIN and Force Buildings on TIN boxes checked.
What I want is just get rid of the autogenerated buildings and bring TIN buildings back in my area.
 
I tried using airport2project to decompile the airports terraform shapes in order to convert them into .xml and remove the noTIN options but it seems like this tool only converts .bgl's into airport layout .xml, I couldn't see any terraform data in the output .xml file.
 
You have a 3rd party addon that removes the TIN, and you want it back? MSFS2020 or MSFS 2024? What addon?
 
Yeah, it's mk-studios LPPT. As you can see in my snapshot, it contains a bunch of terraform polygons that also wiped off TIN even outside the airport area. I consider using ExclusionRectangles to negate those terraforms but some of them are reaching out to the inside of the airport ground that I am afraid could also remove several important airport ground elevations.
