The first way is to use the CityGML PlugIn for Sketchup from www.citygml.de.

Hello,

I tried to setup a deegree-WPVS on a 64Bit Ubuntu Linux environment and encountered some Problems with that. The thing that wondered me, was, that I first made this procedure on my Laptop, running Ubuntu 9.04 (but in 32Bit environment), and everything went fine without a problem.

Silverlight on Ubuntu Linux with Moonlight

Submitted by christian on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 16:56
