Multiple excluse switches?

[svenpurple7]

Hi all.
I was wondering if there was a way to use multiple exclude switches in one area in the scenery.cfg file.
I have tried the following:

[Area.038]
Title=Addon Scenery
Local=Addon Scenery
Layer=38
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Remote=
Exclude=N35 3.01,W106 37.14,N35 2.90,W106 36.92,objects
Exclude=N35 2.37,W106 37.26,N35 2.33,W106 37.11,objects

I have also tried:
[Area.038]
Title=Addon Scenery
Local=Addon Scenery
Layer=38
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Remote=
Exclude=N35 3.01,W106 37.14,N35 2.90,W106 36.92,objects;N35 2.37,W106 37.26,N35 2.33,W106 37.11,objects

but neither one works  Only the area in the first exclude switch is excluded and the second set of coordinates is ignored.
What I am trying to do is remove certain default buildings (not all default buildings) from an airport.
I would also love to hear alternative ideas.

Thanks in advance.

You can only use one exclude switch per scenery. I have heard what some people do is to make a blank scenery per say then use that to remove unwanted scenery.
Or you can use the word all I think it will remove every thing in that area.

Thanks garymbuska.  I thought about that after I posted my question and tried it.  The problem was that FS9 would not let me add a scenery area that has an empty scenery folder.  Lucky for me, I had another folder for the mesh and I put the exclude switch in that area.  It worked!
Now my stupid novice question is, how do I make a "blank" area?

I am begining to think that this thread should have gone in the scenery design forum.

I've created excludes by creating a .xml file, compiling it with BGLCOMP.EXE to a .bgl file, and then putting the .bgl file in Addon Scenery/Scenery folder. An example of a .xml file with a single exclude follows:


version="9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">
latitudeMinimum="N51 06.8900"
latitudeMaximum="N51 06.9400"
longitudeMinimum="W0 32.3500"
longitudeMaximum="W0 32.2100"
excludeAllObjects="TRUE"/>


As far as I am aware there is no limit on the number of such exclude files. Also, I believe that you can have multiple excludes in a single .xml file, though I've never tried it.
