Ao criador do SBuilderX, Luis Sá:
Estive ausente no último mês, devido a uma época de intenso trabalho, mas gostaria de retomar, usando o último Build disponível para o SBuilderX. O Luis poderia me fornecer o Link para download?
Ao José Lobo e Luis Féliz-Tirado:
Agradeço todas as contribuições recebidas (tutoriais, dicussões em fórum, etc.) e convido-os a acompanharem o desenvolvimento do cenário do Paraná (Land Class para FSX) no site do Terra Brasilis. Ele usará o SBuilderX para os elementos VTP, e em adição, um conjunto de novas texturas de Land Class.
For the non-Portuguese readers:
I intend to use (and document) the newest version of SBuilder, together with other applications, in the production of a FSX scenery for the Brazilian state of Paraná. This will cover VTP elements and Land Class Textures, this last ones produced on a VOZ-style basis.
The scenery will be produced under a cooperative effort and it will be Freeware. The "home base" for this development will be the Terra Brasilis site; however most of the contents there are in Portuguese, there is a non-Portuguese section of the Forum which can be used to encourage foreign participants.
Kind Regards,
Bem Haja a Todos!

I'm still trying to sort out island creating with sbuilder, and ran into some problems. Here are the steps I'm doing in sbuilder which should be easy enough for anyone to follow:
1. Create a small polygon to exclude all water within a QMID 11 grid
2. Create a new polygon in a clockwise direction that is slightly larger than the QMID 11 from above and tag it as a hydro polygon Ocean non-periennial.
3. Create a smaller polygon within the polygon in step 2 in a counter-clockwise direction to serve as hole for the step 2 polygon.
I'm unable to complete step 3. When I right-click on the Polyogn hole and select "Set as hole..." it then has a cursor tool tip that says "Click to Select Parent Poly", I click on the hydro polygon and it never seems to take.
What am I doing wrong?
P.S. As a future option in sbuilder FSX, it would be great to be able to select the parent polygon for holes from a list of polygons in the project, that way it wouldn't be so difficult.

<br />Hello,
These are the initial checks that SBX performs regarding FSX existence:
I hope this can reveal the cause of your problem.

We have looked in the registration database for the registration of FSX. However on this computer FSX is not registered in the path that Sbuilderx is looking in(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK). -So we cannot get Sbuilderx to function on this computer. ???

Hello,
If you have installed FS properly that entry in the register should contain the path to the location where FS exists. Did you move FS manually from one folder to another?
I think that the best solution is to create that entry in the registry and put there the loaction where your FS installation really exists!
Kind Regards,
Luis
