Hi Nathan,
There seem to have been a few emails since this, in particular ones from
Alan Gray.
As Alan has said, my problem is more with the way people interpret
LandXML data, than with the actual schema documentation itself.
The idea of a list of features supported by different vendors would be
very beneficial to us, however my concern is wider than this.
For example when dealing with CoordGeom elements, our software prefers
Chains to IrregularLines. The confusion I had with the InRoads file
involved how best to handle line work. - Breaklines, PlanFeatures or
Chains all being valid options, but I had no idea which was best. -
Breaklines was the answer this time -Thankyou to Richard for helping
there :)
You spoke about publishing feature directories on LandXML.org. This
would be great, but I'd like the extra information mentioned above as
well!!!
Realistically, do you have a time table for when this may be
implemented?
I suspect you have enough other things to do though....
Regards,
Hugh Dixon
