Re: file conversion
-----------------------------------
Hi duttond!

Haven't been around a lot lately since my head is always inside a wireframe working on several modeling projects.

You may want to upgrade to citygen v1.5. I looked at one of your files and it was generated by version 0.8/0.9.

I have used v1.5 to generate a city and exported it with the "export to pov" feature and then rendered in povray v3.6 with no problems.  It appears that this native "pov" export feature was added in a later version of the citygen.  The vrml format I am not familiar with.

I will try to take a look at some programs I have and see if I can add anything else.  As far as no vertices/faces etc, that is usually a file incompatibility error, or the method in which a particular program saves a file in a non-native format.  I had this problem when I was working on my first model, the PF Country Club.  I was using a CAD program, and trying to convert it to obj format by going thru Poseray.  My CAD program had various ways of grouping objects, and if I used one which was incompatible with Poseray, I got the same error message about no vertices/faces, etc.

I know this is not a specific answer, but maybe it can help point in the right direction.
