Use the bounding box to describe the area that the building takes up. Round upwards to the nearest integer, and use the scheme I suggested before. Very few buildings end up right next to each other anyway, so you might want to allow for a sidewalk-sized space between each building by making sure your bounding box is +1 unit (or whatever) in width and lengthOriginally posted by InvaZimm
Sparaig,
I like your suggestion. Tho my only concern is how to combine it with the setup I currently have. Since the buildings are placed at a plane's verts, it suggests that at least 4 faces are used. These faces can be found using the polyInfo command.
However, the problem that occurred to me, is that some of the buildings are wider than 4 faces. This being the case I'm having trouble expanding from the vert and face information easily provided. Is there a way to expand the polyInfo command or is there a command that I have over looked that can do this as well? Would be a lot nicer if you could pick walk with verts.
If you only want sidewalks in certain directions, only add 1 along that border. You can pre-define streets by pre-placing them in the arrays. Ditto with parks, vacant lots and maybe with sidewalks for better control.
