Re: request?

you're right, we really can use this information.

doesn't this information already exist, in the form of
portals (generated by michael) originating from the
exits of each building?

if we simply want a single space lying inside the
building, we don't need to generate and parse another
file.  the source space A for any "exiting" portal
A->B lies inside the building.  however, it may not
"best represent" the building.  what does this mean,
patrick?  do you want the centroid of the building
shape?

great, i also have some progress. it is possible, but we will need some help 
from michael. all buildings in my program are nameless. therefore, i will need 
a mapping from, say, building name to some point inside the building on the 
basemap. then, i will be able to locate the point and provide you with the 
mapping you want. 
michael, can you give me this kind of data (name-to-location mapping)?

Vitaly,
I've got some great stuff coming. I have a question: is there any way you 
could generate a file for me which has a mapping of building_name -> some 
patch in the basemap which best represents that building?
i.e. :

mit_18 BMAP#1#1020#BLDNG
etc
