Sparaig,

Thanks for the link. It's an interesting read. After that I really need to get my mind back into a programming/ technical mindset. I think I'm going to try your suggestion earlier with the arrays.

The only current problem that's raisin a set of big downers, is the whole street concept. I had originally come up with a technique of cutting up the plain with elongated cubes so that the faces and verts wouldn't be useable when placing the buildings. However, booleans are not a very reliable tool and just aren't going to work.

The better idea that I thought of awhile ago, is to use an image template. Tho that arises the problem that Maya does not have the capability to check the color value at the specified vert. Now these are causing me major trouble. Anyone have any ideas, that would be great.
