Hi List, 

I think linking MASON to something like NASA worldwind would provide this functionality. For example see http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/demos/ that has a demo of building's (called Extruded Shapes).

However, I need a 3D environment, e.g. with building heights and elevation data, so that I can make line of sight calculations. For example, say I wanted to extend the CampusWorld demo to determine cell phone coverage for each of the agents on the ground, ignoring multipath and other E&M transmission effects. What would be the best way to import the building and elevation data?
