Ben,

You might be using another template file ("units-wise") than the input is. That was "ELISYUM"'s problem, too (see above).

I don't know about mirroring. Maybe the order of the date-input? (It should be x,y,z - in this order).

Well, Pedro, everyone makes mistakes - especially when they are sooo obvious!

Edson,

Go to the Ruby Library Depot site (of Didier) and there you'll find a test (*.dat) file for the script.

Pedro,

The data provided on the website is probably in centimetres and your model is in feet.
Change the template/Units in your file where you're importing the data file, import it (and later you may change the units back).

I hope this works - please, let us know!

And does it?

That's cool Edson - it is supposed to look like that for Didier encrypted it. Just copy it into the Plugins folder (or wherever you do this on Mac) and it will work, believe me!

OK Didier, but that's only for the desseer (it's kind of sweet).

I'd rather have some (dry) Cabernet Sauvignon form Villány (about 20 kms from where I live) with the beef first.

Edson,

Here it is zipped. I hope you can download it now.

Yesss!

Thank you SOOO much, Didier!
It works like charm now!

I get you a beer (or a wine - since you're French) when you get around here!

Me too!

Oh, good!

Since you guys have found each other, if you don't mind, I'm now moving the topic into its well deserved place, to the "Plugins-Addons" > GIS Forum!

Really nice and impressive!
I should go into this GIS thing myself, I think.
This is very similar to what I'm doing (though that's a bit "older"):

Thanks for sharing!

I can only second what Juju says - I check in here every time there's a new post. I can even recognise you by the avatar now

That is also true but in all three depictions of the town that exist from the "pre Turkish period" here (from before 1543 - after which the Turks, capturing the city for 143 years, demolished the churches) so there cannot be crosses seen.

For us nowadays it would be obvious to put a cross and we had quite long debates but then insisted on the depictions.

And now I cannot really tell the guy to re-render the films on his machine for they took about almost a week each!

Tahnks for this input though - I'm kind of regretting now that we did not put them there...

Well, Mike,

This is my profession: I am an archaeologist and historian. I even worked at some of the excavations of these churches when just finished university.

So mostly I have the site "plans" that we draw (exact measurements etc) and access to all the archives of the museum as well as the Chapters Archives, too.

Then I had access to the survey measurements of the city itself, too, so most of the locations are pretty accurate.

Since most of these buildings have gone by now, I had to reconstruct some window tracery from fragments (or at least make - some simplified but "resembling" variations since you cannot see them from here, can you) and also the vaultings of the churches (they are all modelled from inside, too).

Then we have some old drawings, pictures views of some buildings as well as the whole city...

So it was quite a nice, challenging and interesting job where of course I still had to use a lot of imagination to add details which has no traces any more.

It's about to finish now so I can get back to my "favourite" late Roman buildings that we excavated last year.

Well, another wmv file about the Carmelite Monastery can be found here.
Since it is a female order, they got some blossoming trees here (say almond or peach maybe )

Added some hi(er)-res wmv files to the video posts...

Well, to tell the truth, when the Turks invaded my city in 1543, within a few decades they pulled down most of these churches and monasteries to replace them with mosques (but at least we have the northmost - and still working! - mosques from the Ottoman Empire now )

Well, here is the cathedral (some pics of which I have already posted):

It is more or less intact though have been rebuilt twice since the Turkish rule ended at the end of the 17th century.
There is a better resolution wmv file here.

Unfortunately it has also lost a lot of its quality during compression and export to swf.

Just another movie.
This is the Dominican monastery at the excavation fo which I already worked as a freshly graduated archaeologist in 1991.
Of course we did not find everything like this then...
(The file is a bit big - sorry for that -so it needs some download time. There is a better resolution wmv file here)

Again, I need to express that the 3D Max rendering was done by a colleague, not me. I just made the model in SU.

Sure, Dylan - I will post all of them here (I just need to compress them a little bit and convert to flash - so they may lose some quality).
