Vegetation

Vegetation is defined in the AutogenDescriptions.xml file. Because of the great variability in vegetation types in the Regionalizations category, only the Groupings category is

illustrated here. To see the contents of vegetation in the Regionalizations category, expand the tree type for more details.

When an image displays the text “Nothing” it means that no 3D objects are added to the

terrain texture.

Buildings

These images of buildings show a sample of those used by the autogen system. Building

models and textures will vary according to the different regions.

The principal difference between building types is due to variations in the shape and material of the roofs – the most obvious feature of many buildings from the air. Roof

definitions for normal buildings are held in the roofdescriptions.xml file.
