Re: [Virtools] Where am I?

Hi Richard,
I recently had a project visualizing a city area.
There was a wish to have a message displayed when the user entered another area.

My solution was to create polygons outlining the areas under the floor of the scene.
Then I used the Ray Intersection bb to shoot a ray from the current camera down to the area objects.
After that its just a Variation bb to detect the change et voila....

CU, Patrick
