Hi, I have never seen a LandXML file like that. I would ask the producer of that file to change their way of writing it. In the meantime, you can detect such files by searching for <F> elements that refer to point id 0. -- Daniel Lidström SBG AB _____ From: JohannJ.Stampler@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:JohannJ.Stampler@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:44 AM To: landxml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LandXML] Point ID in Faces Hello, My team just found a problem, that in some LandXML files point indices in the <F> element are 0-based and in some they are 1-based. What is correct? The specification says that the indices in the <F> element refer to the ID of a <P> element. This ID is specified to be a positive integer. So in my opinion, it is wrong to start indices with zero. Is it possible that the values sometimes refer to the <P>-element's ID and sometimes to its position (0-based index) within the parent <Pnts> element? If yes, how can we recognize that? In the attached example, there are 778 surface points with ID starting by 1, but the indices in the <F> elements start by 0. I tested the file with the online SVG converter and it failed. Anyway, I am not sure and it is not clearly pointed out in the specification. Best regards, Johann Stampler jr.
